Synopsis:

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.
