The models and mechanics of economics that drive the world of money.
The Economics Bible is a fully illustrated introduction to a field in which even specialists rarely concur. It presents seemingly unmanageable concepts in easy, bite-size pieces to make complex concepts easy to understand. The economic theories that have shaped nations for centuries and influence the way we live now become clear.
History would tell us that economics has always been relevant. However, as America and the world enter a time of great political and financial unrest, it is critical that we understand how the forces driving the world economy work -- and how the political decisions that were made affect it.
From Keynesian models developed during the Depression to how inflation occurs and its effect on interest rates, The Economics Bible makes global finance more easily understood.
The subjects include:
Macro-(market-driven) and micro-(citizen-driven) economics
Inflation (rising prices, wages, hyper-inflation)

a customer review:
I started the series back in sixth grade when I was 12, I'm 17 now and going into my Junior year of High School. I've read a lot of books since then, and still this one is one of my favorites of all time.As the books have been written I've been growing, and just as I graduate the series I've become old enough to be affected by the disease. I have been the perfect age to relate to every single book as it came out, and as I grew it felt like the books and reading level grew with me.I loved this series, I loved the way it was written, I love the relatable characters, and I love that despite the book being set in a fictional world every part of it felt like it could be real history.I'd recommend this series to anyone from age 12+ and I'll probably read the series all over again myself. >See all reviews

"Flat out, one of the best Hollywood memoirs ever written . . . an absolute treasure." —Booklist (starred review)In my ninety-plus years I've lived a multitude of lives. In the course of all these lives, I had a front-row seat at the birth of television; wrote, produced, created, or developed more than a hundred shows; had nine on the air at the same time; founded the 300,000-member liberal advocacy group People For the American Way; was labeled the "no. 1 enemy of the American family" by Jerry Falwell; made it onto Richard Nixon's "Enemies List"; was presented with the National Medal of Arts by President Clinton; purchased an original copy of the Declaration of Independence and toured it for ten years in all fifty states; blew a fortune in a series of bad investments in failing businesses; and reached a point where I was informed we might even have to sell our home. Having heard that we'd fallen into such dire straits, my son-in-law phoned me and asked how I was feeling. My answer was,… Read More

The development of air transport in the early 20th Century led military strategists to examine the concept of inserting light infantry at key points behind enemy lines by air landing and air drop.The Germans were first off-the-mark with assaults in Norway and at Eben Emael in 1940. Crete saw a larger scale attack but while ultimately victorious the cost of men and equipment involved deterred any further Axis operation.The Allies on the other hand developed the concept dramatically with the large scale operation HUSKY in Sicily. While only partially successful – there was massive loss of life and aircraft – airborne operations were a key, if relatively minor, element of Op OVERLORD – The D-Day Invasion.The most famous airborne operation was the large scale but ill-fated MARKET GARDEN. Almost successful the Arnhem battle goes down as a heroic defeat. The culmination of WWII airborne operations was the multi-division Rhine Crossing VARSITY.Expert author and collector Roy Stanley… Read More
