The publication is a universal manual in which the English-Russian dictionary of basic terms with interpretations and illustrations is presented in the form of thematic sections on three main components of the economy: microeconomics, macroeconomics and business.

Thus, the reader forms a holistic idea, both about individual issues of economic theory and about their mutual relationship. The reference dictionary is addressed to everyone who comprehends the laws of a market economy in theory and practice: students and teachers, businessmen and politicians.
