THE EVERYTHING ECONOMICS BOOK

Among the many issues clarified without resorting to complex equations and technical jargon are unemployment and inflation, supply and demand, financial markets, money and interest rates, and bank regulation and deregulation, the causes and consequences of the Great Recession, and how global climate change may transform the way our economy operates. Most important, readers learn how our complex and dynamic economy affects the way we actually live our lives. With helpful headings and subheadings, the thoughtfully designed format features sidebars alerting the reader to important questions, facts, urgent warnings, and handy tips. By taking the challenge out of a challenging topic, this book corrects the perception of economics as boring and difficult.
