Tiền của quốc gia - Các quốc gia tiêu tiền như thế nào và tại sao?

by William Whitehead, Gerry Bailey, Felicia Law

Một quốc gia cũng cần kiếm và sử dụng tiền, cũng như bạn hay gia đình bạn vậy, có điều ở một quy mô lớn hơn nhiều. Và phức tạp hơn nữa. Tuy nhiên ta vẫn có thể nói một cách giản dị về những khái niệm như đơn vị tiền tệ, nền kinh tế, GDP, thuế, suy thoái, tăng trưởng... Đó cũng là những gì tập sách nhỏ này đã làm: mang lại cái nhìn sơ lược cần thiết nhất về chuyện tiền nong của một quốc gia.

Is talking about money hard for you educators or parents? Why not give the How Money Works Series a try!

In Country Money, we have discussion about why countries need money, how they get their money, what an economy is, and how each person is part of the economy. All governments need money for social programs, education, employment, defense, housing, transportation, etc. There are several economic influence factors listed, such as, geography, climate, natural resources, education, agriculture, population, etc, and then go into more detail about them. The illustrations go very will with the short, detailed paragraphs. Perfect for late elementary and early middle grades to read and understand. This book is laid out to not overwhelm readers of this age group, nor does it feel like they are given overly simplified answers. The "Let's Discuss This!" section would be good for the middle grade students to do research on, to learn even more!

Thank you Norwood House Press and NetGalley for the digital ARC of this book, which made this honest review possible.

This title of the “How Money Works” series discusses national economics. It introduces upper elementary and middle school students to the many facets of national funding: how and why countries spend their money. Conversational text addresses how countries make money, factors that affect a country’s economy and trade with other countries. It explains supply and demand, import/export and the labor force. Short, simple paragraphs combined with graphs, charts and related illustrations make learning about national finances more palatable and easy to understand. The format is engaging and even the most abstract principles of finance are explained simply. Back matter includes a bibliography, websites, glossary and index. The entire series is a must for any library or economics/social studies teacher. This title contains a spread that shows different national currencies and how paper and coin currencies are made.

This is a great informational book on economies. It includes information about types of economies, taxes, services, etc...
This book is appropriate for a third or fourth grader to read independently. It is also a great reference piece for older students, too.
I received a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
