What are good books to learn about finance and economics?

Posted by admin on April 8, 2009

I have no background in either finance, economics, or accounting, but I’d like to (1) get a better understanding of economic news, (2) know how to invest my money, and (3) understand the basic financial aspects of running a business.

What are some good books to read to quickly get a good grounding in these areas? Maybe some review books?
