Economics : making sense of the modern economy / edited by Simon Cox - 2nd ed. - London : The Economist , 2006 - x, 326 p.

Good general guide to modern economics that manages to avoid technical jargon. Part one explains the benefits of globalisation; part two looks at economic imbalances with particular reference to the USA and China; part three considers large scale finances, the role of central banks, investment flows, and global capital; and part four takes a philosophical lens to such diverse subjects as the economy of Zimbabwe or the economics of rubbish disposal.
