This textbook has been written specifically to meet the needs of A2 students following the AQA specification. AQA A2 Economics provides detailed coverage of the content of the two A2 units, which focus respectively on microeconomics and macroeconomics. There is thorough coverage of topics that first appear at A2, together with an A2 treatment of topics such as market failure and AD/AS analysis that are common to both A2 and AS. Unit themes are clearly explained, and special emphasis is given to the theories students need to know and apply. Each chapter includes definitions of key terms, examiner"s voice comments that identify important points and offer exam guidance, and boxed examples and case studies placing the theory in a real-world context. Each chapter concludes with a summary and a set of review questions that can be used to assess understanding and for revision.
