The Global Economy

im using the Dixon book the "Australias place in the GLobal economy" one but i feel it is pretty shitty for the first topic.

does n e 1 know a better alternative for studying this topic?


cheers

the topic isnt hard so just stick it through with that textbook. dixon is very good actually for all topics...my skool issued the riley one to everyone but im the only one in the class using dixon instead

riley has like 11 pages on this whole BoP thing ( i think)

Bulmer has like 40. so if you want something REALLY in depth, get bulmer, its crazy.

leading edge is good too.

dixon or riley is fine for the first topic

 

[Grey Council]

hurm, isn't it the second topic?

 

[AGB]

first topic is the global economy, second is australia in the global economy, third is economic issues, and fourth is economic policies and management

Would it be a bad idea to completely rely on Dixon?

I have a copy of Riley and my teacher hands out Bulmer notes, but I sometimes feel they are way too in-depth for what we need to know. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is not necessarily a bad idea....his ideas are simple and concise and yet cover all of the syllabus points comprehensively. I studied HSC Economics last year and gained a Band 6 whilst completely relying on Dixon for all of my notes.
However, I do suggest that u also gain relevant updated statistics from sources such as www.abs.gov.au and try to relate and quote the works of professionals such as Ross Gittin's to support your answers.

Excel books are not good...they dont go into enough detail to get u the band 6 marks....I recommend Dixon.

So far I've got Riley (school issue) and Dixon - hope to get Bulmer soon - Ren which one do you use the most?

 

[Sarah168]
