I just got off a members-only webinar offered by the Women Presidents’ Organization titled “Economic Recovery – what does it mean for your business?” Even though I got an A+ in economics in college (many moons ago), I have to admit that trying to understand how we got into the current state of affairs from an economic perspective leaves me feeling, well, stupid. After tweeting a simple comment I interpreted from our speaker to be simply “things are looking up”, I received a barrage of responses back from people sharing their economic theories. Woah. Now I feel even MORE stupid. The whole experience led me to ponder: Where do we go to find the truth?
