Description
Can you predict when the economy is about to plunge into a recession? What signs do the experts look for? What factors determine stock prices? How can you use that data to make smart investments in bull and bear markets?
Should you be concerned about the towering national debt? How does it affect your pocket- book? Will it compromise your children's future? What about the deficit? Is it more or less serious than the debt? (And, just what is the dif- ference between the debt and the deficit?)
These are just some of the questions that ordinary Americans need to be able to answer to make intelligent decisions about their lives- from investing to changing jobs. ...to choosing when and how to finance a home. But if you're like most people, chances are you're baffled by today's bombing array of economic statistics, formulas, indexes, and acronyms.
