About the Author:
John Black is retired Professor of Economic Theory, Exeter University. He is the author of a number of articles for journals including Review of Economic Studies and Economic Journal, and serves as an advisor to the Oxford English Dictionary on words relating to economics. His recent publications include The Economics of Modern Britain and Housing Policy and Finance.
`John Black's dictionary provides clear and concise explanations of more than 2,000 words and phrases in common use within the discipline. An excellent system of cross-referencing the various entries is a particularly valuable aspect ... this book is strongly recommended as a handy work of
reference for any non-economist who wants to have a better idea about what is going on in economic debates ... this book deserves to sell well to a wide audience ... It does not pretend to be a substitute for more specialised texts. But it illuminates in a concise and accessible way many of the
words and ideas used both in economics itself and in practical political debates on the subject.'
