Mitesh studied Economics at the University of Warwick in England. Following this he embarked on a career in finance; working at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. Mitesh then moved into teaching, focussed on Economics principally at the Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School just outside of North West London. Here he helped his students to achieve excellent academic grades in their public exams and also coached boys for Oxbridge entry. It was during this time that Mitesh wrote this textbook to help develop his students' thinking skills.
