Who is the Public Spending poster for?
Public Spending belongs to the Economics section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning public economics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Public Spending poster?

Is the Public Spending poster free to download and print?
Yes. Public Spending downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Economics section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Public Spending poster print at?
Public Spending is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Public Spending loses nothing.Printing guide
