over-use
of the
essentially meaningless
term "open-source",
respected
economist Preston McAfee
has created, and is giving away, a useful, intelligent (sorely much-needed)
open source economics textbook.

| Thursday Oct 19, 2000 | Life, Love & Economics is an unorthodox approach to learning about macroeconomics for students in introductory economics. Written by three Purdue professors, the novel mixes economics with the elements of love and relationships. Terms and concepts like "hyperinflation" and "opportunity cost" are thrown around by the book's two major characters, Jason Cooley and Samantha Flecher who spend most of their time discussing the differences between conservative and liberal economic philosophies or dashing happily in front of the Federal Reserve Building. And if mystery is more your thing, there's always "In The Long Run We Are All Dead" and "Murder at the Margin". to Economics by kade |

| Thursday May 18, 2000 | Unorg.com is the creation of Simon Buckinghham, who writes down-to-earth, thought-provoking essays about some of the things you can expect to experience in the changing economic realities of current times, and how to make these experiences work for you instead of you merely working for them. Even though he drops a buzzword or two along the way, the essays are (unlike some other writings about this sort of thing) both refreshingly stimulating and realistic. Unorganization: The Individual Handbook is a good place to start.

| Thursday Apr 27, 2000 | Wanna see what some mook of a marketing/demograhics agency thinks of people in your zipcode? Go have a look-see at the aptly-named
MicroVision lifestyle game!. Just feed in
your zipcode and an email address that is, to say the least, not checked for validity, and see what generalizations pop out.
My zipcode reportedly has a plurality of "very low income young single adults with young children" who "smoke 9 or more cigarette packs per week" and "don't know the amount of money needed to retire comfortably". Wow, this is even more accurate than calling my Psychic Friend! to Economics by sburke |

| Tuesday Jun 15, 1999 | Positive Feedbacks in the Economy is a reprint of the 1990 Scientific American article that brought increasing returns and W. Brian Arthur (Stanford) into the spotlight of economics. A little later, Paul Krugman (MIT) takes Arthur to task in Slate for taking credit when others had done pioneering work before him.
