Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Central banking explained in plain English, with no economics degree required. This introduction to monetary policy shows how a decision made in a quiet policy meeting ends up on your mortgage statement, in your savings rate, and behind the prices you pay at the grocery store. The subject has a reputation for being either dull or impossibly technical, and it turns out to be neither once the jargon comes off. The chapters build on each other in order, starting with what money actually is and ending with the arguments over central bank power that nobody has settled. Every technical term gets defined the moment it appears. And every idea is anchored to something that really happened, including Mario Draghi's 2012 promise to do whatever it takes and the cigarette economy that formed inside a wartime prison camp. The chapters walk through: - The three jobs money does, and why cattle, salt, and cowrie shells all qualified at various points in history - Where central banks came from, beginning with the Swedish Riksbank and the Bank of England, then moving to the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and the creation of the European Central Bank to run a shared euro - How commercial banks create most of the money in circulation every time they write a loan, and what M0, M1, and M2 actually count - Open market operations, the policy rate, reserve requirements, the discount window, and interest paid on reserves - How a policy rate becomes a mortgage rate - The yield curve, the bank lending channel, exchange rate spillovers, and the long lag before any of it shows up in the real economy - Inflation measured by CPI, PCE, and core readings, plus the reason 2 percent became the target and why falling prices worry policymakers more than rising ones - Bank runs, stress tests, and the lender of last resort - Crisis response after 2008 and during the pandemic, covering quantitative easing, the zero lower bound, negative rates, forward guidance, and the slow work of shrinking a balance sheet - Central bank digital currencies, political pressure on independence, and the fight over whether climate and inequality belong in the mandate Written for readers with no background in economics. That includes investors who want to know what moves markets, students in a first macroeconomics or money and banking course, professionals in finance, real estate, and journalism who need working fluency, and anyone who reads the financial news and would like to follow it properly. Questions at the end of each chapter give you a place to stop and check what stuck, with example answers in the back. A historical timeline runs from the 1600s to the present day. A glossary defines every term in one place, and a recommended reading list points you further if you want to go deeper on any topic. Once you reach the final page, you will read a rate decision headline or any type of central bank event and know what it means, why it happened, and how it reaches your own life.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Macroeconomics explained from the ground up, with no prior training assumed. This introduction covers growth, inflation, unemployment, business cycles, and the policy tools governments and central banks actually use. Ten chapters build in a deliberate order, each resting on the one before it. You start with how an entire economy gets measured and finish with exchange rates and the hard limits on what any central bank can do. Technical terms are defined the moment they appear, so you never have to guess your way forward. The ground each chapter covers: - The fallacy of composition, and why a whole economy behaves unlike any household inside it - GDP by expenditure, income, and production, the difference between real and nominal figures, and what national accounts leave out, including unpaid housework and resource depletion - Long-run growth: the rule of 70, the Solow model, diminishing returns to capital, and why institutions decide whether poor countries catch up - Saving, investment, the loanable funds market, and how heavy government borrowing crowds out private spending - How banks create money by lending, why a rumor about one bank can become a self-fulfilling panic, and what deposit insurance changed - Demand-pull and cost-push price rises, menu costs, bracket creep, and how a hyperinflationary spiral starts - Frictional, structural, and cyclical joblessness, the natural rate, NAIRU, and Okun's law - The anatomy of a cycle: expansion, peak, contraction, trough, aggregate demand and supply, supply shocks, and the Phillips curve tradeoff between prices and jobs - Fiscal and monetary policy side by side: multipliers, automatic stabilizers, debt-to-GDP ratios, the austerity argument, inflation targeting, the zero lower bound, quantitative easing, and the policy trilemma Every chapter ends with discussion questions that ask you to apply what you just read, and worked example answers in the back show what a strong response looks like. A historical timeline puts the major ideas in date order, so you can see how thinking shifted after the Great Depression and the price surges of the 1970s. Economic ideas tend to arrive as reactions to a crisis, so seeing them in sequence makes them easier to hold. A glossary defines every term in one place, and a reading list points you to the sources behind each chapter. Written for: - Students meeting the subject for the first time - Professionals who want to read the financial pages with more confidence - Curious readers tired of nodding along to words they cannot define The examples come from events that actually happened. Germany in 1923, Zimbabwe, the Greek debt crisis, Japan's long slump, and the choices central banks made under pressure. If you can read a newspaper and handle basic arithmetic, you can follow every page. Once you reach the final page, an economic headline should read as a subject you know rather than a stream of jargon you accept on trust. This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Microeconomics explains the prices you pay, the wages you earn, and the way businesses behave when no one is forcing them to be reasonable. This introduction teaches the whole subject in plain language, and it assumes you are starting from zero. The chapters build in order, each one resting on the last. Every idea gets an explanation and a real example before any symbols appear, so if you can read a grocery receipt and split a dinner bill, you have enough math to start. The examples come from ordinary life: a shorter checkout line, a canceled streaming subscription, a raise you decided to ask for. The chapters cover: - Scarcity, opportunity cost, marginal thinking, the production possibilities frontier, and how incentives quietly change what people do - Supply and demand, and how a market settles on one price with nobody in charge. You also see what breaks when a price is held too high or too low, which explains ticket scalping and gas station lines - Elasticity: why raising the price of insulin barely changes what people buy, while raising the price of one soda brand sends shoppers to another shelf - Consumer choice on a fixed budget, diminishing marginal utility, indifference curves, and the income and substitution effects behind an ordinary shopping trip - Business costs, the U-shaped average cost curve, sunk costs, economies of scale, and the difference between shutting down for now and exiting for good - Competitive markets where entry and exit grind profit toward zero, then the opposite case: monopoly pricing, deadweight loss, price discrimination, oligopoly, cartels, and game theory including dominant strategies and Nash equilibrium - Labor markets, human capital, monopsony employers, unions, and what the evidence actually says about minimum wage laws - Market failure: externalities, Pigouvian taxes, tradable permits, the Coase theorem, public goods, free riding, adverse selection, and moral hazard Written for readers starting a first economics course, self-taught learners working without a lecture hall, students reviewing for an AP or introductory exam, and anyone curious about why an airport shop can charge ten dollars for a bottle of water when the corner store can't. Every chapter ends with discussion questions, and worked example answers let you check your reasoning instead of guessing whether you got it right. A historical timeline traces the subject through Aristotle, Ibn Khaldun, the School of Salamanca, and the arguments that came after, so the ideas arrive with their history attached. A glossary defines every term in one place, and a reading list points toward sensible next steps. Once you reach the end, you may not necessarily think like a professional economist, and that's okay. The goal is smaller and more useful: the prices around you, the number on your paycheck, and the strange behavior of the businesses you deal with every week stop feeling random.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Supply chain management explained from the ground up, with no prior background needed. This book follows a product from raw material to doorstep and shows the decisions that get it there on time and at a price people will pay. Ten chapters move in the same order goods do, so each idea rests on the one before it. The methods arrive with the reasoning behind them and real numbers attached, because knowing why a reorder point works matters more than memorizing the formula. The subject is really a long series of tradeoffs, and this book teaches you to read them: more inventory buys protection against shortages and ties up cash, air freight buys speed at several times the ocean rate, one cheap supplier cuts costs until that supplier has a fire. Ten chapters follow the path a product takes: - The three flows: goods moving forward, information moving both ways, cash moving back - Network design decisions made before a single order ships, including facility location, the warehouse count cost curve, risk pooling, the square root law, and make-or-buy analysis - Forecasting with moving averages, exponential smoothing, and seasonal indices, then measuring the miss with MAPE and tracking signals - The bullwhip effect, and why a small bump in customer demand turns into wild swings at the factory - Sourcing with the Kraljic matrix, weighted supplier scoring, and total cost of ownership - Inventory math you will actually use: economic order quantity, reorder points, safety stock, ABC classification, cycle counting - Production planning from S&OP through master scheduling and MRP, then lean, kanban, postponement, warehouse slotting, cross-docking, and returns disposition - Freight economics across truckload, LTL, rail, ocean, air, and intermodal, plus Incoterms, customs clearance, and tariff classification - Digital systems from ERP and WMS to control towers and IoT tracking, performance metrics including perfect order rate and OTIF, then risk mapping, continuity planning, Scope 3 carbon accounting, and forced-labor due diligence Written for: - Business and logistics students who want the whole picture in plain language - Owners and managers tired of guessing how much stock to hold - Professionals who know one corner of a large operation and want to see the rest of it - Anyone who read about a shortage in the news and got curious about why it happened Every chapter closes with discussion questions, and worked example responses sit in the back alongside a historical timeline of the field, a glossary that defines each term in plain words, and a list of sources for going deeper. Chapters stand on their own, so you can start at the beginning or jump straight to inventory or transportation. Read it once and the ordinary world looks different. You start to see the choices behind a two-day delivery, the reason a product went out of stock, and the logic of where a warehouse sits. Part of the Foundations and Frameworks Series.…
