Rupal Patel (Author)
Rupal Patel and Jack Meaning are economists at the Bank of England.
Rupal specialises in trying to prevent economic crises, which means
you know who to blame when everything goes wrong. Jack is focused
on protecting the pound in your pocket, which means he goes to lots
of long meetings about interest rates.
Founded in 1694, the Bank of England is the UK's central bank,
responsible for printing money, setting interest rates and
regu-lating the financial sector. Since 2017, the Bank's staff have
been on a mission to get outside the City of London and promote
economic literacy across the UK- whether by delivering talks in
schools, running Citizens' Panels on people's eco-nomic
experiences, or, now, publishing this nifty primer on
economics.

If you feel you should understand how economists think but have no
idea where to start, this book is the answer . . . The Bank should
be congratulated on this effort at education. Buy this book for the
inquiring person, young, old or in between.

A well-written treat . . . Using examples including the Bank of
England canteen, The Simpsons and Beanie Babies, the authors
encourage us all to understand, and even challenge, what economists
do.
*Professor David Spiegelhalter, author of THE ART OF
STATISTICS*
An enjoyable introduction to the so-called dismal science . . .
Patel and Meaning have done an admirable job in simplifying and
popularising some of the key elements of their subject.
*The Times*
A great place to start your economic journey. With the Bank of
England as your guide, this accessible book shows how economics
affects so many aspects of our daily lives.

A well-timed attempt to show the public what goes on inside the

concepts . . . Punctuated with jaunty anecdotes and neat
examples.
