Economics through Infographics
From the Series Super Social Studies Infographics
Trying to process economic information can leave you at a loss. You need to understand the connections in global markets (where was your cell phone made?), the crazy variety of currencies (from dollars to kronor), and the high stakes of spending (wants versus needs).
How can all these statistics and concepts make more sense? Infographics! The charts, maps, and illustrations in this book tell a visual story to help you better understand key concepts about economics. Crack open this book to explore mind-boggling questions such as:
• How do people buy and sell things without money?
• What makes it hard to find a job?
• How do people use their resources to turn big ideas into big business?
The answers will be worth a lot to you!
