  • DESCRIPTION

    Have you ever wondered what jobs we will do in the future, or why some brands of shoes cost more than others? What about why some footballers get paid so much or why some people are poor? Explore these and many other questions as you begin your study of economics. Working in groups and on your own, you’ll learn to make judgements and see how economics connects with your life. You can use this book alongside the coursebook for extra support or as perfect preparation before Cambridge IGCSE or O Level Economics. Answers are at the back of the book, giving teachers the option to set it as summer work before students start studying economics.
