Economics: Money, Markets, and Why Everything Costs Too Much (THE STUFF YOU FORGOT YOU LEARNED, Band 7) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Quick quiz: What's the difference between fiscal and monetary policy?

If that sounds like a trick question, this book is for you.

Economics affects everything from your grocery bill to your job prospects, and most of us couldn't explain inflation if our lives depended on it. We hear terms like "GDP" and "recession" and nod along like we get it.

This book covers supply and demand, how markets actually work, what the Federal Reserve does, why prices go up, what happens when they print more money, and why economists keep disagreeing with each other about basically everything.

You'll finally understand why gas prices swing, what a trade deficit means, and how interest rates affect your mortgage, your savings, and the entire economy.

No equations. No theory for theory's sake. Just the stuff that matters, explained so it sticks.
