by Alvin Hall. Published by Dorling Kindersley, 2008.
Maybe it seems a little ironic to be promoting a children’s book about economics – especially one with with a cover that claims to put the FUN into finance - just when the media is full of financial doom and gloom. But I think it’s rather timely, because this is an amazingly down to earth, balanced - and yes, entertaining - look at the world of economics. Alvin Hall is extraordinarily gifted at putting big and confusing concepts into nutshells. Add to this his quirky sense of humour, package it with eye grabbing graphics - and you have a book that kids will read for fun while learning a whole lot at the same time. It’s also a great tonic for adults who have had too much of the doom and gloom!
