students. Published in 2020, this source was created by Jocelyn Blink et al, for the purpose

of educating economics students taking the IB Diploma under the new economics syllabus.

This gives the source more reliability as it is a tool in the dissemination of economic

knowledge to diploma students. The perspective of this source is written in a descriptive

manner, in attempts to eliminate underlying biases to ensure students are able to create their

this source is extensive as it conveys very well-reasoned theories for students to support their
