You could do worse. Follow it up with Thomas Sowell's "Basic Economics" and you'll know more about what's going on than 90% of the population -- and 100% of Congress.
If you really want to have some fun, when in NYC, take the free tour of the NY Fed and the Gold Vault. I did so last week. I was the only American, the rest were Asians. There was a brief video clip before going into the vault. It explained that gold was a relic of the past, not a barbarous on as Keynes said, and that now a days money rested on the full faith and credit of the US Government. By this point we were all smirking and holding back laughs. It was the day the Fed created $1.25 trillion out of thin air. But the gold vault is an architectural masterpiece, holding 7,000 of European gold that was deposited during the run-up to WWII and is well worth the trip.
