This is a straightforward guide to how the economy really affects you. The economy has always been important, but as individuals start to sense the impact of it on their daily lives, they've become more interested than ever. For the past 25 years, Paul Solman has been explaining economics on PBS' "The News Hour". Now, with "The Little Book of Economics", he explains everything from the current financial crisis to the macroeconomic forces at work that are changing our world-and he does so in a way that is as entertaining as it is informative. "The Little Book of Economics" sets out to do two things: explain the workings of the economy, especially in how it directly impacts us, and show you how to maximize your investments and life using this information. It touches upon everything from the financial meltdown and the complex instruments that caused it to the vague bailout package. It walks you through the economics of today: from what it means to Main Street to what you should be doing going forward. Discussing the far-reaching effect economics has on you personally, it explains complex economic issues in an easily understandable manner.
Written in a straightforward and accessible style, "The Little Book of Economics" arms you with the information needed to navigate today's turbulent economic environment.
