    THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF WORLD ENERGY
    An Introductory Textbook

    by Ferdinand E Banks (Uppsala University, Sweden)

    Table of Contents (37k)
    Preface (42k)
    Chapter 1: A Long Introductory Survey of Some Aspects of World Energy (483k)

    This easy-to-read book presents an elementary yet comprehensive introduction to modern energy economics. Mathematical content is kept to a minimum, and advanced numerical concepts are placed in appendices. The two survey chapters are suitable for readers with little or no formal training in economics. Differing greatly from other energy textbooks, the book aims to provide the reader with an informed advantage. Principally intended as a textbook for undergraduate economics students, it can also be used for self-study or as a reference material.
