Dictionary Of Economics

This dictionary is designed to be a comprehensive and concise reference guide for anyone who wants to follow the economic discussions in the media and understand the political debate about the economy. The language of economics is an international one. The same or similar terms are used on both sides of the Atlantic and - in many instances - throughout the world. This library edition has previously been published in paperback as "The Penguin Dictionary of Economics". It includes over 1600 entries, from "above the line" and "accelerator-multiplier model", to "X-efficiency" and "zero-sum game". This dictionary should be of use to those in business, banking, government, journalism, and education.
