Economics achieves this with aplomb". Chris Giles, Economics
Editor, Financial Times Economics is vitally important
in everyday life because we are all living with the consequences of
the global crisis, but it's often confusing. Brilliant Economics is
a crystal clear and illuminating guide through the maze of
financial jargon and difficult concepts. It explains in
straightforward terms what the economic theories mean and also how
they affect the things everybody cares about - jobs, prices,
interest rates.
Diane Coyle, OBE, Enlightenment Economics and Smith School, Oxford
University
Phil writes in a clear manner, simplifying ideas that can be
complex. He has a fine ability to mix relevant and topical
observations with more detailed discussions, bringing a topic to
life and making it easily understood.
