How To Read Between The Lines When The Media Manipulate The Numbers.
A straightforward guide to wading through today's abundance of false and misleading economic data
Gene Epstein knows a thing or two about real economic data. Before becoming the Economics Editor for Barron's in 1993, he was the chief economist for the New York Stock Exchange. Now, in Econospinning, Epstein provides readers with a book that attempts to see through the veil of economic misinformation commonly reported in today's media and offer facts in its place.
He then exposes shoddy reporting by a laundry list of economic journalists, providing the dos and don'ts to guide readers to the best options: who to believe, who to respect, who to argue with, and who to run away from screaming.
