Problems of Economic Policy is an applied economics text in which the basic theory of any introductory economics course is applied to a whole range of UK macro- and micro-economic policy issues. The text is designed both for first- and second year students in universities, polytechnics and colleges. It arose out of the author's experience of the difficulties of teaching economics to first year social science students - and especially to non-specialists in economics. His aim is to show students the relevance of theory to policy, how theory can be applied to policy problems and, in the process, to improve their under standing of the theory itself; it is essentially a problem orientated text.
