Big Money by Rebecca Donnelly

In this basic introduction to money, readers learn about various
economic models throughout history with compelling illustrations and
probing questions that explore the real world circumstances
surrounding spending, selling, and saving.
Big Money aims to explain economic principles in a way that combines the
weird and the meaningful, like Planet Money for kids. Organized in seven
chapters, each posing a general question and answering it through real-world
examples, this book explores the consequences of our everyday economic
choices by connecting the dots between young consumers and the larger
economic and social systems around them.
