Booklist - The Stock Market in Infographics
The Econo-Graphics Jr. series introduces foundational economic concepts with an emphasis on infographics. Short, straightforward text passages begin each chapter to explain the main topic and related terms. A variety of full- and double-page infographics with crisp designs and real-world examples follow these text passages to illustrate and reinforce their concepts. Inflation describes how supply, consumer demand, and the cost of raw materials and wages all influence inflation as well as indices that measure it. The Stock Market gives a history of Wall Street before looking at the modern stock market, bull and bear markets, effects of market crashes, and the future of stocks, including cryptocurrency. Supply and Demand explains the relationship and ultimate desirable balance between supply and demand and how factors such as competition, free markets, surplus, and shortage can affect this balance. Supply Chains highlights types of supply chains, supply-chain management considerations (materials, supplier sources, transportation, etc.), and consequences when this system breaks. Each series installment incorporates timely references to COVID-19 and how it impacted the economy (especially the toilet-paper shortage!). A culminating activity allows readers to test the volume’s economic theories while a concluding resource list lets them seek out related books and websites. An attractive and user-friendly approach to studying economics.
