Can’t We Just Print More Money? was written by Bank of England economists Rupal Patel and Jack Meaning and offers an accessible introduction to economics themed around ten questions including ‘Why are so many of my clothes made in Asia?’ ‘Why aren’t Freddos 10p any more?’ and ‘What even is money?’.

Every state secondary school in the UK has been sent a six-lesson resource for GCSE English students based on the successful economics book which features extracts, presentation slides and worksheets, along with a copy of the book itself.
