A Level Economics doesn't only depend on your knowledge of the theory but your ability to apply these theories to real
world situations.
As such, students are expected to read outside their prescribed texts. Sloman alone is not enough
- hence my encouraging you to subscribe to the Economist Magazine.
Here are some articles that I've come across in
the course of my forays into the internet. You don't have to memorize each and every one of them but please read them so that
you can bring them into your examples when you answer the exam questions.
But before you continue, see that link on
the upper right of this page? You might want to click on that so you know when new stuff is added in. Okay! Enjoy!
UPDATE: Notice Units 1,2 & 3 are kinda empty? That's because I am not teaching those subjects this semester.
The older articles are still downloadable so please visit the 2002 Articles Link.
