Publisher's Synopsis
"What is economics? That's a great question, but not one with a simple answer. A dictionary will say something like this: "Economics is the study of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services." A traditional textbook might define it like this: "Economics is a social science that studies people and the choices they make in the face of scarce resources." Our product is no dictionary, and it's definitely not a traditional textbook, so our definition differs a bit too. Have you ever been in a dark room trying to find your way from one side to the other? We all have, and along the way we've stubbed toes, banged shins, and stumbled. That's a problem, and the way to solve it is to turn on a light so you can see the path to take, understand the obstacles, and make better choices. When you turn on a light, the world around you is illuminated, so instead of stumbling from one place to another, you can move with confidence
