Most of us grow up believing that economics is a specialist's subject - something only experts, professors or governments need to understand.Ordinary people think they must simply work, earn and adjust to whatever the world throws at them. This book was written to break that belief. Economics is not a distant discipline locked inside textbooks and Parliament chambers.Economics is present in every kitchen, every market, every bus stop, every payslip, every farmer's field, and every monthly budget.Economics is not about money - it is about life.Every family that struggles with rising prices is fighting economics.Every young person looking for a job is fighting economics.Every entrepreneur trying to survive competition is fighting economics.Every farmer facing debt is fighting economics.Every citizen choosing between Indian and foreign goods is shaping economics. You don't need a degree to understand these forces - you need only stories and awareness. That is why this book teaches economics through real-life journeys - the worker, the consumer, the farmer, the shopkeeper, the youth, the businessman.These stories reveal how economics quietly shapes our personal life and the future of our country. This book draws inspiration from Lokmanya Tilak's economic teachings, because Tilak never wanted economics to be reserved for experts.He wanted ordinary Indians to understand how the economy affects them - and how they can influence the economy. He believed that: a nation becomes strong when its people are economically confidentprosperity must reach every home, not just a fewdignity and self-respect are part of economic strengthnational pride is incomplete without economic powerThis book is not a lecture.It is an invitation - to awaken awareness, to take responsibility and to recognize your power. If even one reader finishes this book and says, "I understand the economy better - and I know how to protect my family and strengthen my country," then this book has achieved its purpose. This book is part of the "Timeless Wisdom Series", offering insights into spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and self-growth for readers of all ages.
