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. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

In terms of advice, Scaling the Ivory Tower.pdf might be of use. If you are particularly interested in Austrian Economics, Walter Block compiles an excellent career guide here.pdf

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance"
