Economics and Politics made easy
Instead of looking at text books related to economics and politics, the best way to learn could be from magazines. I am a regular reader of The Economist and Bloomberg BusinessWeek. These magazines are great to get a better understanding of who economics and politics works in the real world. I recently went to write the Bloomberg aptitude test, I was pretty confident that it would go well cause I was at the same time studying for my exams which was after 2 weeks, the economics I had learned and revised was fresh in my head.
After a while I got into the examination room, turned the screen on and got to it. Soon I realized the gap between reality and our comfy university. Everything that I had learned for economics in the past 5 years was useless. But since I read magazines like The Economist and Bloomberg BusinessWeek – with a little help of my general knowledge – I was able to secure a 43% and rank 45 out of 4000 student who took part. Its not a very big score but keep in mind that there were no past papers to go through, there were no mocks, I went in there with whatever I thought was suitable. Rest of the 50% of what I achieved goes to the magazines.
School and Universities (no disrespect) have not been able to open the students eyes to the real world, at least I hadn’t been – in some form of Cheap Cosmetic Surgery we all thought that what we would learn would be essential for work. Turns out its down right wrong.
