Grounded in Research, Explained Intuitively.

This book bridges the gap between basic money guides and dense academic texts, offering clear, data-based insights that anyone can understand. Drawing on over a decade of teaching economics at U.S. universities, Zhumadilov and Choi developed this book from real academic research and classroom discussions.
