Economics for Dummies will walk readers through the basics of micro and macroeconomics without bogging them down with complex terms. Covering the history, theory, principles and terminology, this book will make economics interesting and accessible and explain the topic in terms that everyone can relate to

It's easy to assume that if you're not an economist, economics won't affect your daily life - but this is far from the truth. Economics is the science that studies how people and societies make decisions that allow them to get the most out of their limited resources. And because every country, every business, and every person has to deal with constraints and limitations, economics is literally everywhere.

If you think economics is a complicated discipline that's reserved for theorists and the intellectual elite and has nothing to do with you, think again. Economics affects every aspect of our lives, from what we eat, to how we dress, to where we live.

Economics For Dummies tackles the topic in terms you can understand. Covering the history, principles, major theories, and terminology behind micro and macroeconomics. It will help you understand how economics affects you, your decisions, and the world around you. You'll learn how government economic decisions affect you and your family and how to make wiser investments, better spending decisions and improve your personal finances.
