At a simple level, economics is about what we produce and how we distribute and use what we produce. Everyone experiences the economy from home to work to shopping to holidays and consequently everyone has a vested interest in it; how it functions, how well it functions and in whose interests. The problem for many is that economics is considered too difficult to understand or a subject best left to the experts. These are two barriers that the author tries to remove.

Capitalism

In the first part of the book the author stresses that capitalism is not the same as the economy and that previous times used different economic models. However, capitalism is the current dominant model and so is the focus of discussion. That focus starts by taking the reader on an imaginary walk in their neighbourhood and relating what is seen all around to the economy. This is then followed with a brief look at economic history, the politics of economics and how capitalism emerged with its variants.
