Ask HN: What are you reading to make sense of the economy?
Making sense in what fashion, to what end? Investment opportunities? Proposed public policy changes? Where to look for a job?<p>To a large degree the economy is unknowable. That&#x27;s why you can get two economists in a room and receive seven opinions. Don&#x27;t get me wrong; there&#x27;s good value there. It&#x27;s just that economics is an odd mix of philosophy and math. On my more cranky days I call it astrology for people who know calculus.<p>If the economy were knowable to the degree that some economists claim to know it, they&#x27;d all be billionaires. So my advice is to scope down your question to something a bit more workable.
