Whats the joke? If you spend 13 minutes learning about macro/world economics you've wasted 10 minutes of your time. Its a "system" that includes human behavior so it can't be reduced down into logical workflows with known inputs and outputs like any good engineer would like to break it down into. I think your best bet is reading historical information about various cycles. Anything currently published will be suspect because of wanting clicks/subscribers/views (even independent sources rely on subscriptions/ads) or, at least in my eyes, will be suspect because the Internet is the best mis-information distribution system humans have ever seen.
