Great for kids
Amazing series of books created by children to help other children (and adults) understand complex issues. This one gives an easy to understand perspective on the economy - from theory to practical examples. Awesome!
An engaging and insightful book for kids all about the Economy
Have your kids ever heard people on the news talking about the ‘economy’ and wondered what that’s all about? Well this book is incredible in that it breaks down the subject in a way that children can understand. Covering ideas like what currency is and where it came from, how supply and demand works and the relationship between production, consumption and trade. Not only does it give children a great basis for understanding money, but also invites them into the conversation about how the economy works and how it affects us all.
