Econ 000.1

It dawned upon Tully and I, among others, that there might be some merit to the idea of generating some resources for us to draw upon in understanding some basic ideas in economics. The supposition is that it might allow us to even better avoid claims that are just more partisan rhetoric or evento recast them in a less partisan light. At least for the time being, we're not focusing too much on being systematic or comprehensive. We'll just start up and see what emerges. (Part of this will of course involve not reinventing the wheel, so we're looking for good links ourselves, and would love additional suggestions. Fair warning though, anyone that comes up with any good ideas might be asked to post them to the wiki that Rick established.)

Go ahead and set some balls to rolling by posting ideas about places to start if you want. Or even just URLs with a word or two of what it is and why you like it. In the meantime I'm going to get things started anyway in my next post, by picking a spot that interests me, fairly at random. As usual, it stated with something I read that stuck in my craw.
