Chapter 1 - 5

Tons of economic information from a range of sources, including television, newspapers and magazines, radio, and the internet is available each and every day.

This spread fraction is usually expressed in such technical jargon, in order to make matters worse, that it is hard that anyone without a degree in economics understands it. Economic information often appears confused and ambiguous, and it's easy to see why the average person asks whether or not it's even worth trying to understand how the economy works.
