Any Questions on how to do a good Economics Personal Statement?

How can I relate work experience at a Bank to economics? Any ideas?

I have read a book called the naked traders "how anyone can make money trading shares", will this be useful on my personal statement?

It depends on how you use it.

explain please, I didn't buy it to enhance my PS but because I'm interested in the stock market and want to know how to trade to make a profit.

I am an international applicant and I would like to know if it is worth to write something about the current economical situation of my country and my opinions about it on my PS. The opinion is very contrary to what is being done, will it sound pretentious?

Has anyone read these books, and are they good to talk about on ps?
age of instability by david smith
Return of depression economics paul krugman
Also plan to read faultlines by rajan and end this depression now by paul krugman

If you’ve read any stated above what do you think of them?

Unless you're mad on the financial crisis, the smith/first krugman books are fine. 'This Time Is Different' is particularly good.

Go for an area or topic you find interesting, whether that's a particular part of development econ, micro, etc, rather than general books and display your enthusiasm that way - I think that's a much better idea to come across as really wanting to do econ.

I've been reading an economic text book which is alevel/first year and is more mathsey is that good?
Also is sex drugs and economics aa common book? Similar to freakonmics so I shouldnt talk aabout this on my PS
I actually like the recession so is it that bad talking about those books rather than reading certain topics as u said

Don't talk about a text book unless you're going to apply it to a real life situation. For example, "I'm really interested in X area within current affairs, the interplay between Y and Z countries lead me to research further on international currency markets, and understand the differences between ABC, the microeconomic fundamentals of which, show that ___ should happen, however..."

Obviously that's hugely generalised, but the structure is better.

Yeah, avoid the pop fiction econ books.

RE the recession, it's the biggest event people are experiencing at the moment, so obviously lots of people will write about it. You want to come at it from a specific angle, or pick other interesting topics to ensure you stand out.

would reading 2 conflicting view on recession work? i.e. krugman's book vs causes were structural aka rajan

edit
what about idea of shortselling and laeding to concept of risk i like that and its part of recession aswell? or is that too financial ?
