  Written specifically for the construction industry, this introductory economics text has been fully updated to take account of changes since its first publication in 1982. The work covers both macro- and micro-economics, with the inclusion of important topics such as cost benefit analysis, marketing, Britain's economic growth, government legislation and its effect on the construction industry. The revised edition takes particular note of new legislation on housing and government statistics relating to levels of the construction operation. The chapter on financial control has been rewritten with regard to the different taxes now in operation.
