10 X Economics: A Simple Guide to the Economics of the Early Eighties (Pelican S.)

With his undisputed gift for throwing light on a subject which is often considered too difficult to try to understand, Peter Donaldson sets out to explain in this Pelican (which can be read in conjunction with his important new television series) recent monetarist policies in Britain, and some alternatives.

Taking ten of the major topics that dominate discussions about the economy - unemployment, money and inflation, exchange rates, North Sea oil, de-industrialization and public spending among them - he analyzes what they mean, how they interact and their effects. Elegant, lucid and fluid, the author has achieved, as he did in "Guide to the British Economy", "Worlds Apart" and "Economics of the Real World", the clearest possible picture of the economic scene.

The Yorkshire Television series 10 x Economics is produced and directed by Frank Kilbride and researched by Fay Harding and Judith Weymont.
