The September edition of econoMAX has been published.

The articles and case studies cover:
- The importance of consumer confidence to the UK economy
- How and why GNER were successful in retaining the franchise to run
the East Coast line
- Whether economics can help us understand why new cosmetic ranges are
being priced so highly
- How economics explains the soaring price of diesel at the retail pump
- The future for the Kyoto protocol and tradable pollution permits
- How the nature of competition has changed in the UK book industry
- The case for the introduction of flat-rate taxes
- The economic impact on New Zealand of the British Lions tour in 2005
- Why critics are rounding on the IMF

As last year, we occasionally make certain articles from econoMAX
available or free so that teachers can get a sense of the style and
content of econoMAX materials. I'm pleased that an article from the
September 2005 edition is available for free download (pdf format) from
here:

The subscription price for 2005/06 is £3 per student (staff
subscriptions are free once a school has subscribed), for which they
get over 80 brand
new economics case studies and articles per year.
