- davidw 18y agoEconomics? Get a good, mainstream textbook (read the alternative stuff after you have a good grasp of the regular material, if you want). Here's one that's free: http://www.introecon.com/ http://www.introecon.com/ Also, following blogs is a good way to learn. I like this one: http://economistsview.typepad.com/ http://economistsview.typepad.com/ and this one: http://www.marginalrevolution.com/ http://www.marginalrevolution.com/ Start with those, and they'll link to others.
