I would like to reassert for "someotherguy" to pick up college level Economics books for a couple of weeks before delving into CFAI Economics book. The CFAI requires that a candidate has basic knowledge of Economics. The carriculum does not simplify or comprehend rudimentory and subtle concepts like the difference beetween short and long run.
Another suggestion is to try finishing the Quant, Financial Reporting and Corporate Finance readings before starting Economics. The details of these readings as a backdrop will help you understand Economics faster. I would also suggest that you pick up a GMAT/GRE book for two days and refresh your math. The Economics calculations will require you to be quick on your feet with Geometry/slopes/algebra etc.
