"The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable"
–John Kenneth Galbraith
I love reading about economics but I sometimes struggle with the concepts (apparently I'm not alone, right, Mr. Greenspan??) and forget about some of the math (thank you very much Mr. Becker).
"The Economist" got me started on economics back in the 70's--presented such an interesting way to understand economics in the everyday world. I cancelled my subscription, though, when they came out for the Iraq war. I'm waiting for an apology…
UPDATE: The Economist endorses Obama. Not quite enough to make up for their horrendous judgement, but we're getting there.
So here are my recommendations--some books, some resources, some jokes. Check back, I have lots more to add:
