| Jae K. Shim; Joel G. Siegel |
| At last, a dictionary of economics you don't have to be an economist to understand! Balanced budget multiplier, gross national product deflator, Laffer curve, index of consumer confidence, Clintonomics...terms like these keep cropping up in the media with ever greater frequency. And, as often as not, when you look them up, you get explanations that only a professional economist could decipher.
Now, the Dictionary of Economics makes the vocabulary of economics accessible to everyone. Written by lexicographers and financial experts Jae K. Shim and Joel G. Siegel, it supplies you with everything you need to acquire a solid working knowledge of these and more than 2,200 other economics-related terms, including: *Clear, detailed, jargon-free definitions, written in plain English *All important new terms and slang as well as traditional economics terminology *Loads of examples and applications drawn from the worlds of business, finance, and politics *Clear, easy-to-read diagrams, charts, graphs, and illustrations that make it easy to understand even the most complex economics concepts *A practical real-world focus geared to the needs of businesspeople and concerned consumersÂnot economists
