It's pretty simple. In this particularly disorienting era, Kyla Scanlon is the Tim Harford of the disaffected and disillusioned Gen Z looking for answers. This is the definitive, approachable guide to the key concepts and mechanics of economics and the most common myths and fallacies to steer clear of.

What is a 'mild' recession, exactly? What's really happening in the employment market, and how do we improve it for workers?
