Real World Economics - The Book, The Author, Ordering a copy

The Book

    Real World Economics has been written for the entrepreneur, student, manager, employee, employer, investor, voter, saver, business owner, shopper, and homeowner. There is something for everyone.

The book simplifies topics that affect our everyday lives. Why is the rate of inflation what it is? What can we do to get it back to more reasonable levels? What is the likelihood of a recession? What do they mean by a ‘soft landing?’ How do these economic events affect me, my employer, my family, my future? Pat McGuinness covers these topics and others such as trade, economic growth, employment and unemployment, the role of governments, some basic accounting, saving, and investing your money [including investing in the stock market]. He does so in plain English and uses real world examples. Well worth the read and something for everyone.
