Another story from my life – hope you guys don’t mind. So, it was 23rd May, the very first morning after graduation ball. Was out for brunch with two of my friends. After a relatively fine meal in Tai Won Mein we were on the way back, and then … I thought I might have a visit in Waterstone’s, as had already finished ’The Return of Depression Economics …’ (don’t remember? click). Browsed through the bookshop shelves for a while (obviously in Economics section) and, um, found this:
A 115-page long book written by Hugh Pym, a BBC Economics Editor, and Nick Kochan, a Financial Times journalist. Those two gentlemen combined a Q&A list regarding the issues of the current economic climate as well as a short, yet detailed, description of the events that led to the present situation. The book was written in a rush, published in November 2008, so some of the data might not be totally up-to-date, as the authors tried to provide a wider public with a quick update of what has recently happened. Still I would strongly recommend giving it a try. Language should not be an obstacle, as ‘for the intelligent lay reader with no prior knowledge of economics, this is an indispensable, refreshingly jargon-free guide to the shocking events of the past year – and to what future may hold’. Neither price should be an obstacle – I am more than sure that every of you can afford to spare £7.99 for a piece of invaluable knowledge. Halfway through now, and so far so good. Perfect way to relax in between revision sessions (sadly I’m not kidding).
Yup, so that’s it. You guys know where Waterstone’s is, don’t you? (click)
Cheers,
