This will be overlooked but this is actually the answer to your question - buy some stock. Any stock. Just one stock if you are low on cash. Just buy it. Now. Not tomorrow, today. It will force you to learn about the business you bought, how it is conducting its business but also how the stock market works. Then how the global economy works and how things are interlaced and connected. In few months you will understand more than any school or book could teach you.
