Routledge Library Editions: Economics and Society is a 40-volume set that collects together a range of out-of-print titles that examine the role and impact of economics in society – from the funding of welfare states to foreign investment, levels of employment and unemployment, from trade unions and strikes to the costs of recessions. This collection sheds light on a wide variety of topics that involve government planning and management, economic policies, business successes and failures and which all affect society and populations in countries around the world.
