However, the comprehensive introduction to basic economic knowledge in this book, along with the starred content designed to bridge the gap between introductory and intermediate economics, provides the necessary knowledge base for students specializing in economics. John Sloman's Economics has been carefully revised through four editions, making the course exciting, relevant, and easy to understand.

It not only includes general economic theory but also covers advanced economic theory. It is suitable for economics beginners as well as beneficial for graduate students to study. This edition retains many of the popular features of previous versions while undergoing extensive revisions and updates to reflect changes in society and discuss some new theoretical issues.
