loginEconomics should be an exciting subject for anyone who cares at all about the world we live in. What are the opportunities for getting a job and getting paid decently?

If we put our money in a bank, pension fund or the stock market, will it be safe, or vulnerable to the speculative excesses of Wall Street? Why do more than a billion people wake up each morning to lives of severe poverty while a tiny elite live in splendor?
