Global Financial Info is a free, ad-free library of 3,700+ plain-language articles covering economics, markets, government and fiscal policy, central banking, international trade, and personal finance. No registration, no paywall, no ads. Students open a link and read.
Data as of October 2026.
Every article sits on a four-tier reading ladder, so one library serves an entire department.
The same topic often exists at multiple tiers, so a class can read the same story at different depths.

One limit: articles must be shared as-is. Modified or remixed versions are not permitted by the license; link the original instead. Full terms are on the license page.
Roughly 30 states now require a personal finance course for high school graduation, and more phase in over the next two school years.
The Personal Finance and Tax Strategy shelves map naturally to those units: banking and credit, saving and budgeting, investing basics, insurance, taxes, and financial life planning — each with worked numbers rather than slogans.
