<p>I have been reading these blogs for the past year and have learned a lot thanks to all of you. To further my learning so that I may put all these bits and pieces together, I would like a suggestion on where to start? What book should I read? ECON 101. I cant take any classes since I dont have the time.</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance.</p>
 
<p>Any of the economic textbooks written by Ben Bernanke.</p>

<p>OC Public Library system has <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Macroeconomics-N-Gregory-Mankiw/dp/0324236956/">this one</a>.</p>

<p>Wow, textbooks are expensive!</p>

<p><strong>Edit</strong>: fixed link - I had linked to the wrong book.</p>
 
<p>Thanks guys. I'll check it out. Keep up the good work!</p>

<p>awgee - thanks for sharing all of your thoughts in your last post on the other thread.</p>
 
No offense to these suggestions. But I would suggest you read blog analysis. They may be bias (by opinion), they may even be wrong, but they are often MANY times more easy to digest.





I would suggest you read the analysis here, then hit the links off the main page to other blog rolls particulary





<a href="http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com/">Calculated Risk</a>


and

It's easier to see a pattern when you know the result. You know these links and the links from them will be bearish, look for bias, sources, and opinion as well as data, survey info, and calculations. Most importantly, no matter what, absolutely, etc... check the assumptions.
