More About economics
Long ago, people traded things they had. They would give food for tools. This is how money started. Now, we use coins and bills to buy things.
Every day, we use economics. When we buy snacks or toys, we use money. We think about what we want and how much it costs.
In the future, we may use new ways to trade. Maybe we will use phones to buy things. Economics will keep changing with us!
