One of the reviews.

This book does a competent job of summarizing key facts about 58 US and 13 foreign economic indicators. It's one level of detail more than you would get reading a business news story about the number, and at least one level of detail shy of a professional reference. I'm skeptical that it will help anyone understand the economy better or make better investment decisions, but it might help a non-professional make more sense of the economic news. The prose is clear and stylish, which is a real accomplishment considering the format and subject matter. There are no secrets in the book, despite the title, nor any serious discussion of how to use the numbers to understand or predict the economy, or to make money or set policy.
