Planet Money

Most people think economics is about governments, stock markets, and complicated
financial systems. In reality, economics controls nearly every part of everyday life — from the
price of groceries and rent to the jobs people work, the debt they carry, the stress they feel,
and the choices they make without even realizing it.
Planet Money: Understanding the Hidden Economics Behind Everyday Life pulls back the
curtain on the invisible financial forces shaping modern society. This powerful and
thought-provoking book reveals how fear, ambition, consumer culture, inflation, technology,
advertising, debt, and global markets quietly influence human behavior, emotional
well-being, and personal freedom.
Inside this eye-opening guide, you will discover:
● Why prices keep rising even when wages struggle to keep up
