Short-selling, bank nationalisation, liquidation, recession, boom and bust. These are all terms that most of us may not have heard for a decade or so, and for some, even in a lifetime.

To help make sense of it all, we have come up with a list of some of our most accessible and insightful books on the economy.
To name but a few, in The Age of Turbulence Alan Greenspan talks us through the turbulent system of the post 9/11 global economy and Nassim Nicholas Taleb discusses the unpredictability of our financial structure in Black Swan. Or more practically, learn how to watch your pennies in Juliane Otterbach's Saving.
