Download From Here to Economy: A Shortcut to Economic Literacy AudioBook Free
What is the GDP, and what does it mean? Why does the stock market decrease when rates of interest go up? What causes a dreaded recession? Economics effects everyone's life, but most people undertake trust what they read within the newspaper. Now, for anyone who doesn't know much about economics, observed economist Todd Buchholz clarifies it all simply and plainly. With stimulating wit and irreverence, Buchholz takes listeners by the hands and reveals the basic rules behind everything from food prices to trade deficits. Rather than complicated graphs and graphs he uses instances from contemporary life and popular culture to show the principles at work. By slicing through the arcane musings of academicians, the jargon of analysts and advisors, and the rhetoric of politicians, he gives us a precise and accessible understanding of economic ideas, actions, and results as they actually exist in the here and today. Below are a few of the heretofore unintelligible ideas he helps us to understand: what causes or combats inflation, and why it is so feared; what steps companies and bonds up and down - and exactly how to invest smartly and safely; whether it's good or bad to "protect" America from international goods - and what goes on when we do and when we don't; what exactly Social Security is, and whether administration spending is good or bad - and exactly how dangerous the national credit debt is or isn't. In today's confusing economic environment, it hasn't been more important for everyone from homemakers to small-business owners to specific traders and middle managers to understand the forces at work.
