Summary: 'It is a messure of her success that she makes the whole subject sound like very little more than applied commonsense, but commonsense applied to familiar situations in a way that picks out a consistent pattern and shows the reader that the "economic aspect" is nothing more abstruse than a methodical selection from facts which, in a muddle-headed way, he knows already' - The Economist The title of this book reveals its intention to analyse in plain, non-technical language some of the important economic issues which affect life today in Britain. Now revised and brought completely up to date to include the National Incomes Commission of 1962, the uremployment crisis of 1963, and other important economic developments, this book deals with matters that are of interest to everybody because they are closely allied to the daily life of the individual. Why do prices go up and down? Who really pays for advertisements? Is monopoly anti-social? These and many other vital questions are discussed in such a way that the reader is able to understand the complex factors involved in trying to reach sensible answers.
