The Economy 2.0

CORE’s The Economy 2.0 provides a rigorous, evidence-based curriculum designed for undergraduate and masters-level economics students. Its "real-world first" approach has made CORE’s texts the standard at leading universities around the world.

As with all CORE Econ resources, this content is freely available to all. CORE's Windows app brings two flagship textbooks into one seamless digital experience:

The Economy 2.0: Microeconomics. Explore how individuals, firms, and governments interact, with a focus on inequality, power, and the environmental limits of the market.

The Economy 2.0: Macroeconomics. A deep dive into the aggregate economy, covering unemployment, inflation, financial crises, and the role of global policy.
