There are a lot of mainstream economic theories already formulated by respectable economists in the government as well as in the high academe. These were made to measure the economic factors of the country, as well as serving as indicators to predict consumer spending, and the general health of the wealth of the nation.

It’s kind of funny though, how there really is no such need to turn to these complicated theories to learn about the current state of the economy.

However there are simpler ways to do this, and they are so simple that it’s funny how our economists still choose the confusing theories over the simpler and more obvious economic indicators.

The simpler way could be just attending a simple fundraiser. Taking note of all the people who are actually willing to give for the benefit of the poor and needy could be a determinant of the economy; it shouldn’t be too hard, actually it could be pretty easy and simple.

Another determinant of the economy could be a simple visit to a garage sale. Monitor the sales of this middle-class enterprise could give you a cue on the recent consumer trends, and with this you could even intelligently guess the sales of the upcoming Christmas rush.

Second obvious indicators are garage sales. The minimum and maximum sales of middle class garage sales could actually determine consumer trends, and rising prices. They are so exact that they could even determine the rising of credit card limits and even the would-be sales of incoming Christmas bazaars!

These are but a few of obvious economic determinants found in the everyday life, which economists could just take the time to observe. They are just too proud to admit that they don’t have to theorize deeply to discover it.

If that doesn’t; satisfy them, then they simply visit a nearby fundraising event and look at all those willing to help. Evaluate it on the spot, and they might just reflect the upcoming trend in the economy.
