Literatura
Since lectures cover a great deal of material in a short space of time, ideally you should try and read the relevant section in one of the textbooks before attending the lecture. This way you will be able to concentrate on what is being said and ask questions about concepts you do not understand.
The prescribe textbook for the course is:
Parkin M, Powell M, Mathews K, Economics, Addison Wesley, (any edition after 2008) (available on the reserve of the Geography Library)
You may also use other well-known textbooks such as:
McConnell and Bruce, Economics, McGraw-Hill
Sloman, Economics, Harvester-Wheatsheaf
Stiglitz, Economics, Norton
Begg, Dornbusch and Fischer, Economics, McGraw-Hill
Samuelson and Nordhaus, Economics, McGraw-Hill
Lipsey and Chrystal, Principles of Economics, McGraw-Hill
I also strongly suggest you begin reading a current daily or weekly economics/current
Affairs periodicals or newspaper since many of these current international issues will form a basis of discussions in lectures. Reading them will give you practice at applying your knowledge to the real world.
A wide range of publications can be also accessed via the Internet. The Internet sources include: The Economist (economist.com), CNN Financial News (cnnfn.com)
