What's the Economy?

by Simon Pierce

Overview

The economy affects nearly every aspect of a person's life, yet many find it confusing or boring. This outlook can cause people to ignore changes in economic policy that have a profound effect on them. By gaining a deeper understanding of what the economy is and how it affects people, budding activists are more equipped to advocate for themselves and others. Full-color photographs, graphic organizers, and informative fact boxes give readers a basic introduction to the economy and how to get more involved in economic issues. A list of resources gives them a jumping-off point for more in-depth research.
