Governments release reports. Pundits give their interpretation on television. And the stock market may go its own way, confusing everyone. How can you better understand what it means for you? The authors show how consumers, business, the Federal Reserve, and government take into account what's going on around them to make critical decisions like buying new products, building new factories, changing interest rates, or setting budget goals. The book provides a clear roadmap to understanding the whole story behind the global economy."--Publisher's website. 7aEconomics.2BUEsh9720 0aEconomic forecasting.2BUEsh  2BUEsh  bBUSECOcFebruary20161 aScherer, Ronc(Journalist)  2ddc  c21212d21184  00102ddc40708AcademicaMAINbMAINc1STd2016-02-22ePurchaseg280.00h4864l0o330.0 NARp000031642r2025-07-15 00:00:00v350.00yBB  00102ddc40708AcademicaMAINbMAINc1STd2016-02-22ePurchaseg280.00h4864l0o330.0 NARp000031643r2025-07-15 00:00:00v350.00yBB
