Reviews

[Erik · Rating 3 out of 5]

First off...macroeconomics is BORING. But second...it explains a lot about how power functions, and at least attempts to attach a model to the "secret doings" of our internally elected leaders. When people complain about presidents, they often fail to bring up the yin and yang of Inflation vs. Unemployment, which is somewhat out of the Presidential cabinet's hands and more in the hands of the Federal Reserve Board and the private sector. The Board (the architects of recessions and booms to an extent) is something we as a nation aren't even allowed to vote on! But what do I know? I'm not a Freemason. Joking...
