About this title

From Booklist:

With current times defined in large part by the recent economic downturn, the books in the Economics in Action series are a timely choice to introduce students to some key and often interlocking concepts. How Do Mortgages, Loans, and Credit Work? covers interest rates and shows why borrowing and lending are such critical components of a market economy, spending the most time on credit cards, explaining both their benefits and drawbacks. Mortgages and other big loans are explained but are obviously less pressing lessons for kids. In each book, stock photos and sidebars do more to break up the layout than provide much additional insight, but the design as a whole is inviting enough to make these economic principles far less dreary than many kids might think. A good series for establishing a solid economic bedrock. Grades 5-8. --Ian Chipman
