Hey guys, it has come to my attention that a lot of people lack basic knowledge on the economics, even though it remains as one of the issues of great concern for many Americans. I consider myself a lifelong learner, and have recently decided to concentrate more on the economy, specifically monetary policy. I wanted to start a thread to share and, perhaps, hear about great online learning sources that everybody uses to supplement their academic backgrounds.
I actually wanted to review basic economics since it has been a long time since I've had the course...and, admittedly, some of my knowledge may be outdated. I found a great video series from Berkeley on their basic econ course and have started watching it. Seems pretty solid so far. The link to that series is:
I also listen to podcasts when I have time, the two I listen to concerned business / economic issues are:
NPR's Planet Money:
Planet Money
The Economist Radio:
The Economist Radio (All audio)
I also try to listen to Senate Hearings from the Joint Economic Committee found here:
Hearings - United States Joint Economic Committee
I do realize that I probably need to do some reading to keep up with current matters, but I don't have a ton of time, and enjoy listening to things as I'm going to bed. Anybody else have some online sources they use to stay refreshed on economic issues or perhaps help fill in the gaps in their learning?
