Student Guides to Business and Economics

Designed to engage learners at the high school and lower undergraduate levels, each volume in Greenwood’s Student Guides to Business and Economics series provides readers with a broad introduction to a foundational topic in economics, business, or finance. Accessibly written and drawing on historical and contemporary real-world examples, these books create a solid conceptual framework for students and allow them to contextualize important ideas, events, and issues. Beyond the classroom, this series helps young adults better understand and navigate the world around them.
