The economy’s on my mind. Not just the woes of a world economy in free fall. But I’m trying to (re)learn as much as I can about the fundamentals of economics and finance.
I’m enjoying the EconTalk podcast these days. I’ve listened to a couple of their episodes and liked them. Dry, but informative and not too complicated. Good for helping make sense of today’s economic troubles. And also good for indulging your inner economist.
For a more snazzy take on the economy, I love Planet Money and the pieces they’ve been doing on This American Life. They do a stellar job of entertaining and informing.
