The book The Fundamentals of Economics has been written as a manual to offer a comprehensive introduction to economics students. It is designed to provide a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of the subject, as well as to give the reader the opportunity to expand this knowledge further.

For students pursuing various curricula, such as the new IB syllabus and the GCE A-levels, this book provides an excellent platform for acquiring the necessary economic theory and will challenge them to go beyond the standard book analysis. Thus, this book can comfortably serve as a study platform for first-year students in this field.

The author, with over twenty years of teaching experience in IB and GCE A-level environments, as well as teaching undergraduate and postgraduate economics students, aimed to move away from books filled with cases and to offer a book that would be both comprehensive and readable.

The Fundamentals of Economics is currently in its Second Edition and continues to follow the principles of accuracy that are at the core of its original conception.

The book:

• Presents each topic with careful attention to detail
• Uses precise graphical illustrations accompanied by theoretical analysis

• Fosters a stance of inquisitive thinking among students and places a strong emphasis on sustainability and economic well-being
• Includes summaries at the end of each chapter, each with a brief overview of the material covered

The Fundamentals of Economics provides an excellent foundation upon which an understanding of economic theory can be built. It is a book that can be comfortably used in conjunction with other specific curriculum books, refusing to be limited to any single program. Therefore, it challenges the student to surpass any specific curriculum and gain a comparative advantage in perception and depth of understanding.
