Summary

In a dialogue between father and son, The Economy Explained to My Son addresses the central themes of modern economics with clarity and simplicity, making even the most complex concepts accessible. Valentino, an inquisitive and observant boy, poses a series of questions to his father, Fabrizio, who guides him through an educational journey that covers such fundamental topics as inflation, money, credit, international trade, globalization, labor, unemployment, and the birth of the euro.
On page after page, Fabrizio answers Valentino's questions, using practical examples and a didactic but light tone to make the economic dynamics that affect every person's daily life understandable. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic, explaining not only the basic concepts, but also the deeper implications and challenges they pose, both individually and collectively.
Through this exploration, the book not only explains how the economy works, but also invites readers to reflect on the role each of us can play in shaping the economic and social future. The euro, a symbol of European unity and cooperation, is analyzed in both its successes and critical issues, highlighting the complexity of common economic policies and the challenges Europe faces in maintaining this union.
Economics Explained to My Child is a book that aims to educate and inspire, making it clear that economics is not a distant and abstract science, but an integral part of everyday life. With a narrative and dialogical approach, the book is aimed not only at young readers, but at anyone who wishes to better understand the economic dynamics that govern the modern world. By the end of the journey, Valentine will not only have acquired a solid foundation of economic knowledge, but will also be more aware of the importance of being an informed and responsible citizen.
This book is an invitation to everyone to explore the economy with curiosity and open-mindedness, to actively participate in building a more just and prosperous future, and to recognize that behind every figure and graph are the lives, hopes and dreams of millions of people.

Beginning by examining the attributes of accounting earnings and their relation to stock prices, the authors present a strategic analysis of accounting earnings that recognizes the influence they have on decisions made by users and producers. These decisions shape the properties of accounting information and its application in valuation, contracting, and firms' investment choices. The authors argue that accounting information plays a pivotal role in fostering firms' commitment to stakeholder protection, leading to increased value creation for shareholders. The authors offer expert guidance through accounting and its roles in driving efficiency and value creation, unlocking its true potential.
