Overview
It's obvious to anyone with a television or a mortgage that the economy is not what it used to be. What is a "subprime loan?" How did delinquent loans result in a global catastrophe the likes of which haven't been seen since the Great Depression? Who are Fannie and Freddie? How do you define middle class? How much can presidents really affect economic outcomes? How do the markets effect me? What's a "living wage?" Why do I feel so squeezed?If you'd like to know the answers to these questions but haven't a clue where to start, Jared's your man. While economics is cast as an objective social science, economic "experts," "analysts" and self-appointed opinion-makers all too often manipulate and distort the science at the heart of many issues that matter deeply to Americans. Crunch addresses these matters directly, with analogies and hip language that make it seem more like the funny papers than a phone-book sized economic treatise.
