SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In Econospinning, Epstein cuts through the veil of economic misinformation commonly reported in today's media. Each chapter of Econospinning is structured around fairly simple propositions about the economy or about specific economic data - from tracking employment numbers to measuring corporate profitability - that are then contrasted with the distortions of today's media coverage. Along the way, Epstein exposes loose reporting by focusing almost strictly on the elite media."--Jacket.
