Dear Internet....
I want to learn the basics of political economy. For example, China buying more US debt because it has too much Foreign Reserve currency? Bwuh?
I've tried looking online for a basic textbook, but they all look scary and all assume that I know Basic Economic Equations, which I don't. (I think I know the basic ideas behind said equations, but I can't express them in terms of Capitalized Letters and Equal Signs)
So...
Where should I start? Are there helpful youtube videos? Or maybe a "political economy for dummies"?
