You are the economy and so you have the power to shape it and be shaped by it。 Along the way， you might just help create a better society for everyone。

I’m not going to even pretend I fully understand the last chapter until I have read it another 7/8 times。 I think that I now know a bit more of what I should know about the economy because of this book。

This book is a good entry level insight into economics。 I have definitely learned about some key concepts， and the books authors have clearly strived to make this book accessible and modern。 I will say however， I bought this book to understand the key question， the title， which wasn’t answered until the last chapter and to be honest， I still don’t realllyyyy understand why we can’t just secretly print more money。 I did also have a dream or nightmare（！） last night about having to an A level maths This book is a good entry level insight into economics。 I have definitely learned about some key concepts， and the books authors have clearly strived to make this book accessible and modern。 I will say however， I bought this book to understand the key question， the title， which wasn’t answered until the last chapter and to be honest， I still don’t realllyyyy understand why we can’t just secretly print more money。 I did also have a dream or nightmare（！） last night about having to an A level maths exam so the topic is clearly on my mind。 。。。more

My recent reading has had quite a financial theme lately， not sure why。 I found this a very readable introduction to various economics concepts， a few of which I hadn’t come across before。 The authors use concrete， everyday examples， and touch briefly on historic events （eg the South Sea bubble）。 They write in a chatty style。 As far as I remember we don’t see any mathematical formulae。 As I’m originally from Scotland， I was amused to finally see the rationale behind “Scottish bank notes aren’t l My recent reading has had quite a financial theme lately， not sure why。 I found this a very readable introduction to various economics concepts， a few of which I hadn’t come across before。 The authors use concrete， everyday examples， and touch briefly on historic events （eg the South Sea bubble）。 They write in a chatty style。 As far as I remember we don’t see any mathematical formulae。 As I’m originally from Scotland， I was amused to finally see the rationale behind “Scottish bank notes aren’t legal tender， but you can spend them anyway。”I did notice a tendency towards repetition in the later part of the book， but that’s a small point。Overall， a good exploration of economics， comprehensible for the non-initiated。 。。。more

Excellent introduction to economics for beginners。

I commend the authors goals in trying to make economics more accessible but they've ended up with a strange mix of too much explanation and too little in different cases。 60% of the book is an over the top explanation of GCSE level Supply/Demand and then the final few chapters are a too brief explanation of QE， central banks etc。 I fear this really will just take people to the first peak of the Dunning–Kruger Graph。Enjoyable and a perfectly fine read， but left me wanting to learn more about what I commend the authors goals in trying to make economics more accessible but they've ended up with a strange mix of too much explanation and too little in different cases。 60% of the book is an over the top explanation of GCSE level Supply/Demand and then the final few chapters are a too brief explanation of QE， central banks etc。 I fear this really will just take people to the first peak of the Dunning–Kruger Graph。Enjoyable and a perfectly fine read， but left me wanting to learn more about what it raced through at the end。 。。。more

This is one of the best economics books I have read thus far。Very well written and a breeze to go through， with very clear and lucid explanations on a variety of economics topics。More suited to a beginner in Economics， but still contains the odd new frame for a topic， enough to get value even if you're well read in economics。 This is one of the best economics books I have read thus far。Very well written and a breeze to go through， with very clear and lucid explanations on a variety of economics topics。More suited to a beginner in Economics， but still contains the odd new frame for a topic， enough to get value even if you're well read in economics。 。。。more

Great book， explains everything you need to understand about economics in a perfectly accessible way。 This has gone splendidly alongside my A-level economics studies。

In my view an important book on things that we should all be aware of， but so often aren't because they come couched in so much politics and academic nonsense。 In my view an important book on things that we should all be aware of， but so often aren't because they come couched in so much politics and academic nonsense。 。。。more

Really good introduction to economics， learnt a lot about the banking sector and how the central banks can control economic crises
Gareth Manuel

The book is perfectly fine and very easy to read and follow。 With the state of how the economy is at the moment， and increasing finding myself in conversations about inflation etc; I thought this would help， but basically， it just reaffirmed my understanding。 Which in itself is fine。

I totally relate to the target audience this book was meant for。 Economics should not be about complicated terms and fancy theories。 It’s about our daily life and learning about it can empower us to make better decisions。 Definitely recommend it for anyone who is interested in understanding our society in simple and practical terms， in a way that you can really relate to！

The content varies between the basics and the more nuanced insight， but overall it is an easy to read overview of the main ingredients in economics。 Would have benefitted from an extra chapter on the relationship between economics and politics。

a very informative read that will help people get to grips with the basics of the economy and also quite funny at points。 highly recomend。

Overall the language is extremely accessible and it just reads so easily。 Content-wise the first few chapters are a bit too simple， yet the last five chapters are very insightful and interesting。 The references to the Central Bank， London neighbourhoods and all the examples from different centuries and countries keep the book light and fun。 Recommend！！

Easy and friendly reading explaining the most basic economics concepts。 A little bit too basic， though。。 I hoped I would gain more new knowledge after finishing it。

Amazing writing， simple and understandable， to the point。 Explaining a lot of the basics of how the economy works and analyzing the concepts through real life examples。 Great initiative from the Bank of England to publish such a book。

A light and easy read。 The authors do a good job of using examples to explain economic concepts in simple terms， and to make them accessible。
Colin Stump

Refreshingly light and easy to read。 But authoritative and very accessible on the fundamentals of economics。 Should be compulsory reading for kids towards the end of their secondary education。 And for adults who want to understand what makes the economy ebb and flow， without getting bogged down in too much detail and theory。 Very relevant reading in the world situation we face in 2022。

Fun to read （and informative）Wow。 A book on what I thought was a very dull subject that was extremely readable。 Ok。 I may need to read it again at some point in the future to refresh my memory on some of the concepts， but the fact that I’d be happy to do so is probably the greatest compliment I could give to these two excellent authors。 Next some detective stories， some Sci-fi then try a text book on quantum mechanics！！ Perhaps not。
