Economy. 19th edition, corrected and supplemented by Samuelson P.E., Nordhouse V.D.

Can the XXI century repeat the success of the XX century? Will the abundance of several richest states spread to poor countries? Will four horses of economic apocalypse come - hunger, war, environmental pollution, depression - to the countries of the golden billion? Do we have enough wisdom to rebuild our financial systems so that they can continue to provide investments that fed economic growth to date? And how do we relate to the threats of the environment, such as global warming?

answers to these and other questions give a book of famous American economists Paul E. Samuelson and William D. Nordhaus. It describes the mechanisms and driving forces underlying the economy - both at the global level and at the level of an individual consumer. After reading this book, you will understand how the world economy and the economy of individual countries function, how production and banks work, why economic crises arise, what money is needed for, and much more. You will get acquainted with terminology, learn to read graphs and understand a lot in the world around him. Knowing the basics of the economy will help you better navigate in the rapidly changing world of the new millennium.
