Reviews
"Readers fearful (and rightly so) that a book about economics is probably dry and impenetrable can relax. Naroff and Scherer have delivered their ideas in richly readable stories, such as the tales of a trucker and a Tex-Mex restaurant that enliven the first chapter." --Kevin Post, Business Editor, Press of Atlantic City , April 26, 2014

Synopsis
Navigate the economy with this insightful new book The world is awash with economic information. Governments release reports. Pundits give their interpretation on television. And the stock market may go its own way, confusing everyone., Praise for Big Picture Economics "Naroff and Scherer show how seemingly unrelated things like an upgrade of the Panama Canal, a Tex-Mex restaurant's menu change, or how many Americans are overweight turn out to be intricately linked to our daily experiences. What brings the book to life is the authors' focus on these hidden interconnections." Brendan Conway, columnist and blogger at Barron's " Big Picture Economics should prove to be a very helpful and entertaining guide for a general public audience, as well as the financial professional and serious student of economics, by providing a fresh non-academic down-to-earth way to see how decisions on interest rate formation, taxation, investments, and the action of policy organizations, such as Congress and the Federal Reserve, are formed and impact our spending habits at a personal and national level. I greatly applaud the authors' ability to present an unbiased context needed to fully understand the implications at a personal financial level of several major policy decisions enacted over the last decade by our government that will have a lasting impact on the financial welfare of all Americans for years to come." Fred H. Dickson, CMT, SVP, Chief Investment Strategist, Davidson Companies "Joel and Ron liven up the discussions of economics and contribute to the debate about policy. Add this book to your econ library." David R. Kotok, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, Cumberland Advisors "A breath of fresh air, with lucid and perceptive insights on every page. It all sounds like common sense, but it is actually based on a close, expert reading of economic history and what that history implies for the future. Read this book to become a more educated judge of economic policy!" Robert Moffitt, Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of Economics, Johns Hopkins University "Context and clarity are crucial to understanding the economy, and journalist Ron Scherer and economist Joel Naroff deliver both in their compelling new book Big Picture Economics: How to Navigate the New Global Economy . At a time when the media is filled with economic analysis based on emotional attachment to pet theories, Big Picture Economics is refreshingly grounded in rich detail and incisive on-the-scene reporting which has characterized Scherer's distinguished journalistic career." David Cook, Washington Bureau Chief, The Christian Science Monitor, Navigate the economy with this insightful new book The world is awash with economic information. Governments release reports. Pundits give their interpretation on television. And the stock market may go its own way, confusing everyone. How can you better understand what it means for you? Big Picture Economics , a new book by award-winning columnist and futurist Joel Naroff and veteran journalist Ron Scherer, says the thread that ties everything together is context. The authors show how consumers, business, the Federal Reserve, and government take into account what's going on around them to make critical decisions like buying new products, building new factories, changing interest rates, or setting budget goals. The book provides a clear roadmap to understanding the whole story behind the global economy. Big Picture Economics helps readers understand how context impacts decisions and decision makers. - The Federal Reserve and Congress in formulating economic policy - Consumers in a shopper nation and what makes us buy or not buy - Corporations making decisions on whether to build new factories and buy other companies - The federal budget that must deal with complex issues, including the reduction of health care spending - A simple test for tax cuts or increases: will they help the economy grow? - Where to produce and where to sell in a global economy that is more like a Mobius strip than a flat world - International events that can ripple through the economy and ultimately affect workers in the Midwest - Technology, such as intelligent drones to wearable computers, are changing the future Experts laud the book for its perceptive insights: It all sounds like common sense, but it is actually based on a close, expert reading of economic history and what that history implies for the future.
