Volkswirtschaftslehre. Eine Einführung für die Schweiz (Print inkl. E-Book Edubase, Neuauflage

Economic cycles, the strength of the Swiss franc, unemployment, banking crises, globalization, lockdowns... Economic topics play an important role in our daily lives, in the media, and in political discussions, especially since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, there is a significant need to understand and contextualize economic processes. This book demonstrates that with the help of a few simple models, economic questions can be competently answered. All important areas of economics are explained in this work using the same fundamental concepts. Based on this foundation, the insights are then applied to the specific situation of Switzerland and its international context.

This fifth edition includes minor additions and updates to data and economic policy developments, as well as a new special chapter titled "The Great Pandemic," which addresses the economically relevant aspects of the COVID-19 crisis.
