Guide to Economic Indicators: Making Sense of Economics
The Economist. Sixth Edition
Bloomberg Press | 2007 | ISBN: 1576602400, 1861979749 | 257 pages | PDF | 4 MB

A guide that assists in determining where we were in the business cycle. The book is structured like an encyclopedia - analyzing each indicator in detail and in isolation.
