All I Needed To Know About Economics and Finance I Learned in Preschool

John Masters' Take on This Week's Market Volatility July 31 - August 6, 2011
What A Week. The financial markets are falling all over the place. The Dow experienced a 1000 points drop. The rest of the financial markets weren’t any different, with the exception of gold.

Et Tu, Turkey? Islam, Coups & Crackdowns
Previous FMN articles have analyzed the wild swings in the trajectory of Turkey’s development.

The not-for-profit research group measures inflation without looking at the big, one-time purchases that can skew the numbers. That means they don’t look at the price of houses, furniture, appliances, cars, or computers. Instead, AIER focuses on Americans’ typical daily purchases, such as food, gasoline, child care, prescription drugs, phone and television service, and other household products.

A new phenomenon is underpinning corn prices: prosperous farmers.
Having benefited from high prices last year, farmers are becoming more choosy about when they sell their corn. Right now, some are opting to stockpile some of their harvest, rather than sell it, a decision analysts say is helping keep corn prices relatively high.
