    Real World Economics has done what would seem to be the impossible—make the daunting intricacies and complexity of global, national, and household economics both comprehensible and engaging to middle and high school audiences.

    Each title offers an easily accessible, yet highly informative "diagram" of exactly how various economic phenomena, processes, mechanisms, and activities work. Narrative examinations of actual historical examples help readers draw point-by-point connections between abstract principles and real-world events.

    An early education in both the fundamentals and finer points of economics is absolutely necessary to encourage the development of an informed population, one that will take active control of its own future and make wise and educated decisions that will protect the long-term interests of the individual, the family, the community, the nation, and the world.


    — Inside Why Banks Fail

    Titles include:

    How a Depression Works

    An economic downturn is not necessarily a depression. The mechanisms of a depression, its causes and effects, and how it develops into a worldwide situation are clearly laid out and informatively explored. The Great Depression is used as an illustrative thread running throughout the book to bring compelling, vivid life to the principles discussed. Your readers will come away with a solid and sophisticated understanding of the economic principles underlying the business cycle, while feeling more confident and capable of coping with real world economic downturns.

    How Credit Crises Happen

    From 2007 to 2009, banks failed, companies closed, millions of people lost their jobs, and credit dried up. What happened? Find out in this book that explains credit crises and how to prevent future problems in the financial system.
