The Global Marketplace: Money Matters

The decisions you make every day directly affect the economy, whether it is buying a concert ticket, putting money into a savings account, or getting a part time job. But how exactly do these decisions fit into the bigger picture of the global financial system? And how can global developments such as the recent economic crisis, affect your every day life? This series makes sense of the recent crisis and the global financial system. It explores the fundamentals of investing, lending and borrowing, globalisation, the economic cycle and more. Special features include diagrams and graphs and suggestions for further research, as well as examples that help students to better understand their own role in the global marketplace.
