A great place to start your economic journey. With the Bank of England as your guide, this accessible book shows how economics affects so many aspects of our daily lives.
Dr Linda Yueh, author of THE GREAT ECONOMISTS
Economics affects every aspect of our lives, but it can often seem like an inaccessible, off-puttingly jargon-laden subject. This is the guide you need! An entertaining and essential read at a time when understanding how our money, governments and banks interact has never felt more important.
Laura Whateley, author of MONEY: A USER'S GUIDE
A well-written treat . . . Using examples including the Bank of England canteen, The Simpsons and Beanie Babies, the authors encourage us all to understand, and even challenge, what economists do.
Professor David Spiegelhalter, author of THE ART OF STATISTICS
An enjoyable introduction to the so-called dismal science . . . Patel and Meaning have done an admirable job in simplifying and popularising some of the key elements of their subject.
The Times
A well-timed attempt to show the public what goes on inside the Bank of England - and familiarise them with some basic economic concepts . . . Punctuated with jaunty anecdotes and neat examples.
Guardian
A very readable guide to economics . . . contains some great facts . . . Entertaining.
Daily Mail
A good introduction to concepts such as inflation, quantitative easing, supply and globalisation.
New Statesman
If you feel you should understand how economists think but have no idea where to start, this book is the answer . . . The Bank should be congratulated on this effort at education. Buy this book for the inquiring person, young, old or in between.
Martin Wolf, Summer Books, Financial Times
The authors want to inspire a new generation of economists, both at school level and among older students . . . If Patel and Meaning could help turn that tide, they will have performed a great public service.
Alex Brummer, Daily Mail
[One of] a range of accessible introductory books that can give people a basic understanding of the subject that may even prompt them to dig deeper . . . A great primer.
