Book Overview
Miles and Scott deal with sophisticated issues using advanced economic theory but in a manner that is accessible to someone taking a single course in macroeconomics. They discuss real world economic issues and first describe why these issues matter before discussing economic theory. In explaining why certain economic events occur the authors utilise logical economic thinking and modelling but they only introduce models after the real world problem of interest has first been discussed. A distinguishing feature of this text is the focus on the data and detail of the world economy and the use of this material as an entry point into the world of theory.

Miles and Scott Very Good Introduction to World Economy/macroeconomics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a very good book and I have found it to be useful for understanding world economics and the broad concepts of Macroeconomics. Combined with The Elusive quest for Growth in the tropics and the Bottom Billion, it would provide a depth about the growth inequalities in the world. This in any case, gives information on how to improve macroeconic performances in an economy. A good read for government officers involved in Macroeconomics and Multinational executives who are chasing the elusive quest for corporate growth across the world.

Yet Another Economics Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a good book, designed for students wanting to understand macroeconomics without previous knowledge of the subject matter. However, it addresses advanced topics in an attractive style. After reading every chapter you will be able to grasp the concept behind the text. However in some chapters you may need to make extra research for you to be able to formulate an understanding of the concept and eventually you may need some case studies that explain the economic implications of the inherent results.
Definitely worth getting for MBA students and World Leaders!

A great insight into how world economics really works. It's easy to read with examples and diagrams that really help you understand why people behave economically the way they do. To add to this, Andrew Scott is one of the best lecturers to have worked at London Business School.This text should be compulsory for all World Leaders!
