Radio Bookclub: In This Economy? HOW MONEY & MARKETS REALLY WORK

The August selection for the Radio Bookclub is In This Economy? HOW MONEY & MARKETS REALLY WORK by Kyla Scanlon.

Scanlon is an economic commentator who explains how the economy works on social media platforms and has become one of the internet’s most popular financial educators.

Her new book expands on that work and is an illustrated guide to the mad math and terrible terminology of economics, examining and explaining everything from the national debt to mortgage rates.

She coined the term “vibecession” to explain the disconnect between the economy of a country and the general public’s negative perception of it. You can find Kyla on social media platforms (@kylascan) and sign up to her newsletter.

This episode was broadcast on KGNU on Thursday August 29th at 9.00am.
