Readers Question: Kindly suggest me STANDARD TEXTBOOKS on ECONOMICS for A/AS levels

AS Level Textbooks. There are no economic textbooks which really stand out for AS level.

You can check out the AS Economics textbooks at Amazon here All those listed I have looked at; they are not perfect, but are fine.

Some AS students don’t buy an AS textbook but just buy an A Level book which is sufficient for both years.

A Level Textbooks. My favourite A level Textbook is the edition by John Sloman. But other recommended textbooks you can see here.

I have used many different economics textbooks, but my preferred textbook has always been Economic by J.Sloman

The benefits of Sloman for A Level Economics are:

• Comprehensive coverage of material. Good for the student who wants a little more detail.
• Broken down into manageable sections. I think this is the most important criteria, unless the text is broken down into useful sections, I find students won’t read it.
• Key terms explained in glossary.
• Good use of Real Life examples to make Economics Relevant. This is important for an applied subject and helps to make the material more interesting.
