Very substantially revised edition of previously successful title that, with typical Economist style and clarity, provides expert analysis of different aspects of the modern economy. Aimed at those in business and professions and with a special paperback edition aimed at students, it includes sections on: 1- Globalisation - how and why it has gathered pace, and how its critics' views are understandable but often misguided2- The phoney recovery and America's imbalances - why the US's quick recovery from recession is mere respite, not escape, and how the country's appetite for debt is dangerous.3- China's rise - and what it presages for the world economy.4- Underachievers - analysis of the problems that previous economic giants such as Japan and Germany have run into trouble.5 - The arteries of capitalism - the financial markets, central banks and global capital6- Economic facts and fallacies, which spells out basic economic truths and exposes some economic canards.

Contributors are the economics specialists writing for The Economist
Written in the accessible, intelligent, jargon-free style for which The Economist is famous, this book is aimed at anyone from students to presidents who wants to make sense of the modern economy and grasp how economic theory works in practice.
The laws of economics do not change from week to week. If you have ever wondered why America's trade deficit attracts so much fuss, why central bankers enjoy so much deference, whether stockbrokers earn their commissions, or why we cannot share unemployment by sharing work out more evenly, the articles in this book provide answers based on economic principles of lasting relevance.
Part one of the book looks at globalisation. Part two track the fortunes of the world economy - America's recovery and its imbalances; China's rise; and the brighter signs for the Japanese and German economies after years of underachievement. Part three examines the "capital" in capitalism - what finance does for the economy; how money and credit are created, regulated and circulated; and capial flows across national borders. Part four explores how economics is applied and misapplied - what the market can achieve and how it can fail.
