Did you ever wonder about how money works in industry? How we produce goods? What goes into deciding a selling price? How banks work? As members of society, we are constantly involved in buying and selling, producing goods and using financial services. This process is known as Economics and this book will help you to understand how the system works, how it affects you and why it is important that you should know about it.
Written to follow a social inquiry approach and conceptual understanding, this book focuses on Social Studies Level 5 of the New Zealand Curriculum, in particular on understanding how economic decisions impact people, communities and social sustainability; how people seek and have sought economic growth through business, enterprise and innovation; and the Vision, Principles, Values and Key Competencies of the NZ Curriculum.
