STARTING ECONOMICS (STANLAKE)

The Starting Economics (Stanlake) textbook is a widely respected and clear introduction to economic principles, primarily aimed at students taking GCSE or introductory level courses. It is structured to provide lucid explanations of even the most complex economic concepts, using a wealth of relevant illustrations and real-world examples to aid student understanding. The book covers both microeconomics (the study of individual markets and consumer/firm behaviour) and macroeconomics (the study of the whole economy), ensuring a balanced and comprehensive foundation in the subject.

This resource features worked examples and a variety of exercises—including data response, short answer, and essay questions—to test understanding and provide ample practice for written examinations. To facilitate revision, it includes Summary Boxes at key points, and a dedicated section on coursework provides exemplars and advice on maximizing marks in this important assessment component. Starting Economics is valued for its sound, clear framework and its ability to help students develop a critical understanding of economic issues and theories.
