How the World REALLY Works: The Economy

You hear about the Economy every day on the news, but what is it, exactly? This simplified, illustrated guide will answer that question and give you a great introduction to the economic concepts that affect your life in big and little ways.

Praised by City economists and former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, this book is a perfect introduction for curious children and a great refresher for adults.

It answers lots of questions, including: Why does an Economy need to grow? What is GDP? What does the Bank of England do? How does currency work? How do interest rates work? Why does it matter?
