Synopsis
For students and general readers, Driver provides a guide to global economic issues that presents, in alphabetical entries, topics such as tariffs, balance of trade, deregulation, inflation, microeconomics and macroeconomics, and income distribution to explain the ways economies around the world are constructed and interrelated, as well as socialist, communist, and capitalist approaches to economic organization, and the roles of international organizations like the European Union, OPEC, OECD, and the World Bank.

Reviews
Written with the young adult in mind, this business reference title is designed to introduce readers to basic concepts in economics. The book is organized alphabetically by topic and includes a glossary, an index, photos, and many colorful charts, maps, and other descriptive graphics. Entries are written in clear, practical language and run between two and seven pages long, an appropriate length given the intended audience. There are 52 general entries, including Business cycles, Corporation, Globalization, Recession, and World Bank. Articles were drawn from the 11-volume Business and Industry, which was published in 2004. For the single-volume version, numerous tables, charts, and graphs were revised, and a number of articles were revised as well. In addition, all the bibliographies were replaced with lists of noncommercial Web sites and databases. Libraries already owning the larger set may not need to acquire this spin-off, but it is a good cost-saving alternative for high-school and public libraries that want to provide introductory economics material. Grades 9-12. --Catherine Collins
