Description
Big Money aims to explain economic principles to middle-grade readers in a way that combines the weird and the meaningful, much like Planet Money for kids. The book is organised in seven chapters, each posing a general question and answering it through real-world examples. This approach helps readers explore the consequences of their everyday economic choices by connecting the dots between themselves and the larger economic and social systems around them.
