Money makes the world go round, but how well do children understand
finances? Show Me the Money breaks the mold of the school textbook and
introduces young readers to the world of economics -- from the history
of money to e-commerce.
Divided into sections that focus on economics, business, personal
finance, and the history of trade, Show Me the Money takes technical
jargon and breaks it down with easy-to-understand text, diagrams, and
illustrations making a formerly dry subject interesting and relevant.
Topical questions of ethics are addressed throughout, including free
trade, fair trade, debt in the developing world, and the impact of
business on the environment. The book also looks at personal finance
from saving to pensions, and introduces key thinkers such as Adam Smith
and John Maynard Keynes, to take a look at the bigger picture of the
global economy.
Updated to be in tune with today's culture of environmental and social
awareness, Show Me the Money is a good investment for young people who
want to learn about economics and the world around them.
