Free interactive games for A Level Economics
Economics makes a lot more sense when you can push the levers yourself. These free games let you run the circular flow of income, set interest rates for the Bank of England, fight a price war against rival firms, and test your vocabulary every day. They are built around the A Level specification, and they work just as well on a phone as on a classroom projector.
Watch money flow round the economy, then open the valves. See how injections and withdrawals set national income, and where the multiplier comes from.
