Your demand to understand economics is fully supplied in this irreverent resource that answers the age-old question, "Where has all my money gone?" Even if you find the GNP and CPI more confounding than the IRS, you'll learn to converse like an MBA, as this enlightening reference teaches you:
-- The seven magic words of economics
-- What every economist doesn't want you to know
-- Who put the "capital" into capitalism
-- 11 leading economic indicators that are sure to keep you up at night
-- and much more!

Covering every major topic in economic theory, this extraordinary compendium imparts practical wisdom, too -- with guidelines on how to read and understand financial news, why you can't always bank on banks, how to interpret the ups and downs of the stock market, and many other applications to everyday money management.

This review is from: Everything You Need To Know About Economics (The Pocket Professor) (Paperback)

When I first picked it up I was very unsure of what I was getting in to. I wasn't sure if this would just another dry all-in-one type book with loads of info. Rather this book by Fike and Stebben, puts Economics in real life terms! Easy read and very easy to follow, makes Econ. and enjoyable subject, unlike those college classes.

Enjoying economics I noticed this book and picked it up. A great encounter. It clearly explains many of the garbled explanations we hear or read. It is done in fact that anyone even without any economic background can get a understanding of Bonds, GDP, Stocks and all the indicators of our government and our lives. I would recommend this book before beginning any education on finance or economics.
