Just checking my Twitter account and saw a link that really intrigued me - so I took a quick look and was very pleasantly surprised.
First the link is to a library of "50 Free Ivy League Lectures on the Economy". The opening paragraph is encouraging to a bloke like me. After all, the closest I ever got to an Ivy League education is visiting my Aunt who happens to live in Princeton.
Check out what it says...
"The economy has taken central stage in world news for the past few years due to rapidly failing markets the world over. Even with so much attention focused on economic issues if you're not familiar with the field, or simply want a more in-depth look at things, it can be hard to follow just what's going on. These lectures, given by scholars from some of the most prestigious educational institutions in the United States and around the world can help give you that foundation of knowledge and help you better understand the financial crisis that's been building over the past few years."
The lectures are broken down into the following categories:
General Economics
These lectures will help you learn the basics of the field of economics and touch on some more specific economic issues as well.
Understanding the Economic Crisis
If you are confused about the economic crisis, these lectures can help you understand its causes and what it might mean for you or your business.
Proposed Solutions to the Economic Crisis
Once you've learned a little more about where the financial crisis stands, you can listen to these lectures that propose a variety of solutions, sometimes conflicting, on what to do to help it recover.
Future of the Economy
Listen or watch these lectures to hear projections about where the markets and the economy are headed in the next few years.

These lectures will help you learn and understand the myriad of economic issues that face businesses today.

Well I may not be Ivy League educated and you may not be either but I can tell you that by looking over the list of these free lectures that there is going to be some very interesting blogs coming your way - as I am sure many of my questions will be answered as I kick back late night and listen when is in nice and peaceful around my house. The first one I will be listening to is #28 - Once the Market Has Fallen 50% Your Future Returns are Even Better: Here you can learn why now may be a good time to invest. [UPenn]
Hope this works out for you
