A shopping list, a coin saved in a jar, and a payment at a market can all begin a conversation about money. Why do people accept coins and banknotes? What makes a direct swap difficult? How do everyday choices connect with a wider economy?

Wealth & Economics explores 180 questions across six themes: The Birth of Money, Banks & Saving, Work & Income, Markets & Trade, Smart Spending, and Digital & Future Money. Each theme contains 30 questions.

Discover how gifts, credit, commodity payments, and swaps have appeared in different communities. Explore what banks do, how people earn income, why prices differ, and how circumstances shape the distinction between needs and wants. Other questions introduce phone payments and changing ways of exchanging value.

Full-color illustrations accompany clear English explanations and “Did You Know?” features. Familiar examples connect abstract ideas with things readers can notice at home, in shops, and in their communities.

Open to a question for shared reading, compare different situations, or follow an interest independently. This illustrated paperback encourages curiosity about everyday economic life.
