With typical Economist style and clarity, Economist Economics provides accessible and expert analysis that shows how to make sense of the modern economy. Substantially revised from the successful first edition, the book offers an in-depth examination of different aspects of the modern economy. Aimed at those in business, it is organized in four parts:

- The Global Economy, which looks at global balances, China, U.S. influence, and central banks.

- Globalization, which examines the whole issue of globalization and global capital.

- After the New Economy, which analyzes what impact e-economics has had and will have.

- Economic Facts and Fallacies, which spells out basic economic truths and exposes some economic canards.
