Economics, it's impact on mortgages and learning

youngmoney_2

Hi all,

Obviously economics has a big effect on pretty much everything in this day and age. I am trying to find out the key economic indicators and how they relate to mortgages and finance etc.

Can anybody recommend a 'beginners guide' book to me?

In this day and age, economics has less impact than spin and goverment intervention...

Obviously worth learning about, but if you take it at face value, you're always going to miss out on the latest "big thing" (may help you survive the latest disaster if you hold your nerve and ignore the sheep though).

Thanks for the book tip HJ!

MaH, very true. I think for me it's also to get a real grip on what's what. If in my future career I have somebody who asks me a lot of questions based on economic factors, I'd rather have a good knowledge of what they are talking about than sit there like a lemon!
