An accessible guide to how economics defines all of our lives - the first ever book from the Bank of England. What is economics? How can it help explain the world? And why should we care? Our world is shaped by economics. Whether you' re buying a loaf of bread, looking for a job, or applying for a mortgage, the thing we call ' the economy' is going to set the terms. A shame, then, that most of us have no idea what the economy actually is. That' s where this book comes in. The Bank of England is Britain' s most venerable financial institution, responsible for printing money, setting the rate of interest and regulating the economy. Now, the team at the Bank take you inside their hallowed halls to outline precisely what economics can - and can' t - tell us about the world. Organised around the ten key questions any budding economist should be able to answer, this primer takes you from the basics - what economics actually is, and the laws of supply and demand - before moving onto how economics defines all of our lives- through growth and inflation, trade and recessions, taxes and spending. Along the way, it offers vivid examples of econ in action- not only in the City of London, but also in office canteens, on factory floors, even on Love Island . . . Witty, absorbing and eminently accessible, this book is your one-stop guide to the economic universe we all inhabit.
A well-written treat . . . Leading us gently through the jargon, it answers such basic but all-important questions as "What actually is money? ". Using examples including the Bank of England canteen, The Simpsons and Beanie Babies, the authors encourage us all to understand, and even challenge, what economists do. -- Professor David Spiegelhalter, author of THE ART OF STATISTICS A great place to start your economic journey. With the Bank of England as your guide, this accessible book shows how economics affects so many aspects of our daily lives. -- Dr Linda Yueh, author of THE GREAT ECONOMISTS Economics affects every aspect of our lives, but it can often seem like an inaccessible, off-puttingly jargon-laden subject. This is the guide you need! An entertaining and essential read at a time when understanding how our money, governments and banks interact has never felt more important. -- Laura Whateley, author of MONEY: A USER' S GUIDE
