Toda la cultura financiera que no te enseñaron en el colegio

Why has inflation impoverished us? How to renegotiate this variable rate mortgage that is keeping me awake at night? Will I receive a pension when I retire? What investment tools allow me to save without risk?. Why, when it comes to raising taxes only for the rich, do some say that I am also going to pay more? And who is considered rich in Spain? Many citizens feel overwhelmed by the overload of information (and misinformation) of our time. The world is increasingly complex and uncertain, and marketing takes advantage of this to display an economic newspeak that aims to confuse citizens. María Vega, a journalist specializing in economic information, warns us that we should not always believe the rulers of the day when they tell us that the economy is doing well. And she shows us in this book that understanding how it works is not impossible: with some basic notions we can better understand the interests that move governments. Why are countries with high public debt more vulnerable? What is the monetary policy of central banks and why do interest rates rise and fall? Has the labor reform and the rise in the SMI benefitted the labor market? Are many or few taxes paid in Spain? Does the brick always go up? All the financial culture that you were not taught at school is a great starting point to answer all these questions and follow the news published by the media with more criteria. And, also, to manage our personal finances with a little more success.
