Rezension:
Concise definitions are provided, helpful to new students and to anyone slightly fuzzy about exactly what it means (yet not wanting to be bamboozled)... So a useful and value-for-money desk-reference tool for anyone reading intelligent economic commentary or striving to write a convincing essay for a tutor.
