Everyday Economics For People, Introduction and Table of Contents.

“You need money to make money.” To a large extent, this is true, and many books have been written about how to make even more money when you have money already. Sadly, not everyone has money. However, what each person does have is time and a body, and they can use those to earn money, and then they will have the money they need to make money without earning it, the details of which are beyond the scope of this book.

Unfortunately, until you save money, you only have your body and your time. This book is about hastening your path to early retirement and relative luxury by being strategic with your body and your time: when you train, when you borrow, and when and how you spend in order to increase your ability to save money without changing what stuff you buy or how many hours you work.

The first section is largely about the psychology of becoming wealthy, with practical, easy-to-follow steps that will transform your finances from debt accumulation to wealth accumulation as quickly as you start following them.

The second section is largely about contextual economic factors which are larger than you, an individual. I will attempt to summarize micro and macro economics, in humanly appealing fashion. Then, I will proceed to describe ways that you, an individual with very little capital to your name, can still nonetheless take advantage of the rise and fall of prices and production to improve your standard of living and rate of becoming wealthy!
