"Economics for BIG Kids" is designed to teach and enlighten adults who have a limited knowledge of Economics and want to know more about the subject through a simplistic and understandable interpretation, in light of the 2012 emphasis on Economic issues such as job creation, the National debt and the role of government. This book gives people elementary knowledge of economics, from Adam Smith to Paul Volcker, and the history of how it began and how it got to where it is in the 21st Century. As the writer speaks in conversation to his 5-year old Great Nephew through the child's Mother, the descriptions and images of the Free Enterprise, Capitalist economic system unfolds under the microscope of the historical evolution of government, the private sector and the forces of land, labor and the Entrepreneurial spirit propelled economic development and resolved financial crises. The emerging impact of the people, through the Democratic process, has changed the nature of Economics from the time of the monarchies to the invocation of the "Will of the People". This book gives insight into the workings and evolution of that system and the economic mechanisms that promote it. Economics for Kids is a primer for the Post-2012 Economy and how it works.
