This article actually does a shockingly good job. I'm not an economist, but I understood everything that was happening there.
Speaking of economists, reading The Economist is a pretty good way to get your feet wet initially. It's a magazine, but its pretty in depth, but at the same time doesn't assume you're an expert on all parts of the system.
- alttab 17y agoMy girlfriend is a tax specialist for one of the most respected Mutual Funds in the country that doesn't do any wishy-washy derivative trading, she works directly with the CFO and the Comptroller. I read this entire article to her out loud and she was actually impressed with the accuracy of what is usually sensationalist writing from the Rolling Stone. As programmers who like to make black and white or otherwise binary decisions about things, I'd say we'd be the least qualified to make bogus or unfounded statements.
