In this basic introduction to money, readers learn about various
economic models throughout history with compelling illustrations and
probing questions that explore the real world circumstances surrounding
spending, selling, and saving.
Big Money aims to explain economic principles in a way that combines
the weird and the meaningful, like Planet Money for kids. Organized in
seven chapters, each posing a general question and answering it through
real-world examples, this book explores the consequences of our everyday
economic choices by connecting the dots between young consumers and the
larger economic and social systems around them.
