This book is written for those who want to know how to make sense out of the flood of economic data available each month and to understand the relationship of these data to the financial markets. The best framework for examining the economy is to use the monthly data available on the demand by the users of GDP (the total output of goods and services in the U.S.): personal consumption, business capital expenditures and inventories, government investment and consumption, and net exports. Critical economic measures for each of these areas are described and charted for a period of years to provide perspective. Interest rates and monetary policy are covered, as well as the federal budget, Social Security and Medicare. Business cycles are reviewed, together with long-term growth trends of the economy. A new chapter for the second edition was written by my son, Liam Mennis, which is devoted to sources of economic information on the Internet. Pitfalls in economic analysis are outlined, as well as a chapter relating the economy to profits. Finally, long-term investment returns for various types of investments are described and charted, and investment goal setting, investment risk and diversification are discussed. The book is not aimed at the professional economist but at the non-economist who is interested in how the economy, profits and the finacial markets operate and relate to each other.
