FEE is an excellent resource for the study of economics as well as current events and how economics applies to them. Check out this page which links to their e-book page, but while there, take time to look at the other great resources they offer. We are all familiar with the adage about repeating history, but so too, if we know not economics and how the world really works, there is little hope for bettering our position.
