Publisher's Description of Understanding Inflation (21st Century Economics)
Inflation is a complicated concept. Under ideal circumstances, an inflation rate of 2 or 3 percent can be good for the economy, as it helps boost businesses' profits. Unchecked, however, inflation can lead not only to financial hardships for individuals but to widespread economic downturns. Students will learn how inflation is affected by supply and demand, how it existed long before paper currency, how it can be regulated, and how a lack of regulation can affect the economy. From examples throughout U.S. history and comparisons of the costs of goods over time, students will understand how different rates of inflation in different contexts affect the economy.
Category Description for 21st Century Economics

These books are broken down into chapters written in concise language, making the basics of economics easier to understand. There are several colored graphics and pictures throughout each 80-page book. Each book has its own glossary and suggestions for further investigation including video, websites, books, or names and contact information of organizations that may have information of interest. This series of eight books would provide a solid foundation for any student studying economics. Parents could potentially add assignments such as research papers, and have students follow through on the extra suggestions in the back of each book to make these 8 books an actual economics course worthy of a half-credit.
