About Economics Explained

Economics Explained is an independent site that explains how markets, money and economies work. Each article covers one concept at a time, from supply and demand and price elasticity to GDP, inflation, interest rates and the way banks create money. The aim is to give readers the core ideas and the real numbers behind them, with worked examples they can check themselves.

Accuracy comes first. Articles rely on established economic theory and on published data definitions, and they say so when a model simplifies reality or when experts disagree. The site is not affiliated with any bank, government or company, and nothing here is financial advice. Corrections are welcome, and readers who spot a mistake are invited to say so.
