* Reviews *
Series Review: Real World Economics: Set 2"These books explore financial topics not usually addressed for students... Why Banks Fail is fascinating, well written, and accessible.... This text is lucid and keeps such concepts as "contagious" bank runs and "cascading" bank failures easy for students to understand. How Taxation Works is straightforward and perfunctory. The further reading recommendations are focused for teens."
