520 |a Guide to the British Economy is intented for the general reader who would like to have some grasp of what economics is about and what makes the economy tick, but who may find the textbook approach unpalatably abstract. Economic ideas, therefore, are presented here within the real context of the British economy. The aim is both to give an impression of the working of the different elements in the economy, and to illustrate the extent to which economic analysis can be helpfuf in solving the problems which face policy-makers. In the first part of this introductory guide Peter Donaldson is mainly concerned with matters of finance, including the stock-market. After a full examination of industry, labour, and trade, he goes on, in the final section of the book, to a general discussion of economic theories, their scope, and limitations.
