Can’t We Just Print More Money?: Economics in Ten Simple Questions - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rupal Patel (Author)
Rupal Patel and Jack Meaning are economists at the Bank of England. Rupal specialises in trying to prevent economic crises, which means you know who to blame when everything goes wrong. Jack is focused on protecting the pound in your pocket, which means he goes to lots of long meetings about interest rates.

Founded in 1694, the Bank of England is the UK's central bank, responsible for printing money, setting interest rates and regu­lating the financial sector. Since 2017, the Bank's staff have been on a mission to get outside the City of London and promote economic literacy across the UK: whether by delivering talks in schools, running Citizens' Panels on people's eco­nomic experiences, or, now, publishing this nifty primer on economics.
