If you have the benefit of youth, entrepreneurial vision, and a commitment to ideas I strongly suggest the following:
Welcome to my resources page. I think that it’s a great time to be a student of economics, for three main reasons. Firstly, any form of learning is a social experience and the best way to study economics is through conversations. The rise of the internet has facilitated a phenomenal array of economics weblogs that enable everyone to participate. Secondly economics is becoming part of popular culture, creating a demand for well-written, accessible books by specialist communicators of economic ideas. And thirdly, the discipline itself seems to be moving away from formalism and concentrating more on the big questions that students of economics wish to understand. These factors all combine to mean that you can take a direct part in the conversation of economics, there’s a plethora of excellent introductory guides, and the subject is increasingly relevant and exciting.
