Change one thing.
Watch the economics happen.
Walk through five floors of economic history in our new museum, then try the interactive 3D simulations you can walk round, zoom into and control. Each one runs in your browser with no download or account, on a phone, tablet or classroom board.

The centrepiece
Climb the steps, take the lift and walk the galleries, from tulip mania in 1637 to the 2022 mini-budget. Every front page, sculpture, display case and hands-on interactive opens onto timelines, real statistics, winners and losers, and exam practice.

More 3D simulations
Change one thing and watch the economics happen.
Run Adam Smith's 1776 pin workshop. Split the job into specialist tasks, balance the line, find the bottleneck and see where boredom and the size of the market set limits.
Hire bakers into a kitchen with one fixed oven. Predict each hire, watch the queue build and chart total, marginal and average product with cost per loaf.
Walk round the MONIAC hydraulic economy. Pull the levers for tax, saving, imports and spending, and watch the multiplier at work.
Start a rumour on a City of London street and watch the queue drain the vault. Add deposit insurance or call in the Bank of England, then try to survive the Northern Rock and SVB runs as CEO.
Spin the planet and tap any country for its GDP, growth, GDP per head, HDI and Gini, what its economy is known for, and its main exports and imports. Recolour the globe by HDI, inequality or growth to spot global patterns.
Click and drag, or swipe on a tablet, to walk round each model. Scroll or pinch to zoom in on the detail.
Move a lever, hire a worker or split a task, then watch what happens to output, costs or national income.
Each simulation ties what you see back to the diagrams and key terms you need for the exam.
