Description: The Australian Economy provides all the background you need in order to be able to understand the business pages of the newspaper and major economic debates. Fully up to date, The Australian Economy uncovers the reasons for our current high levels of unemployment, our high foreign debt and explains the impact of the deregulation of the 1980s. It shows you how to understand the key economic indicators such as the CPI and the BoP, and explains the policy options available to the government.

With contributions from leading economists including David Clark, Peter Saunders, Steve Dowrick and John Nevile, The Australian Economy is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the workings of our economy.
