Remember that economics course you took? Yeah, me neither. Turns out that knowing what’s happening in the economy is more important than you know. Politicians are making decisions with the economy that have a direct impact on your money. So as our guest Howard Yaruss, economist, professor at NYU, and author of the new book, Understandable Economics: Because Understanding Our Economy is Easier Than You Think and More Important Than You Know, says, it’s time to start paying attention to our economy and the people making the decisions. You know all those companies laying off workers right now - that’s because of the economy. And the reason behind your $100 grocery shopping bill that was $50 last year…well, that’s because of the economy. In this episode, Howard’s spilling the beans on everything you need to know about economics, our economy, where money comes from, and how our current economy directly impacts your money.
