Comprehensive Commentary in Plain English
Economics studies are challenging – you need to learn theory and see how it applies to the highly dynamic political and economic landscape.
You need to make sense of:
- The impact of fiscal and monetary decisions,
- The mechanics of Australia’s commercial environment, and
- How the global economic landscape influences Australia’s
economy.
Plain-English Economics makes it easy to keep up to date with current events. We provide comprehensive commentary on economic events with easy-to-understand analysis of how current events link with economic theory.

$95/year inc GST
Plain-English Economics produces monthly newsletters and economic topic papers. You could acquire this information from the mainstream media – newspapers, editorials, and journal articles – but media commentary can be difficult for students to interpret and understand in the context of their economic syllabuses.
Plain-English Economic papers are also valuable for Economics teachers. You want to show your students how economic theory applies to current events – Plain-English has done the hard work for you. Our commentary papers provide a comprehensive analysis of current events that you can use as a teaching resource in your classroom.
Economic Topic Papers
Each Topic Paper provides an overview of recent data and trends in a key economic topic area. The papers are an ideal reference source for student assignments and essays.
Topic Papers are published in June each year and cover:
- inflation,
- external stability,
- unemployment,
- labour markets,
- financial markets,
- economic growth,
- sustainable development,
- globalisation,
- income distribution, and
- developing economies.
Monthly Commentary Papers
Designed for secondary school economics students, monthly newsletters provide an up-to-date summary of contemporary economic events, data and issues in an easy-to-read format.
There are 10 issues each year (January to October) and a Commonwealth Government Budget analysis is also provided.
Plain-English Economic commentary papers provide students and teachers with easy-to-read coverage and analysis of current economic events and policies.
The commentaries bridge the gap between textbooks and the need for students to understand and assess ongoing events in local and global economics.
