About.com: Economics -- http://economics.about.com/
About.com -- formerly known as the Mining Co. -- offers an excellent,
easy-to-understand area dealing with economics. Find dozens of links

Dr. Ed Yardeni's Economics Network -- http://www.yardeni.com/
Ed Yardeni is the chief economist for Deutsche Bank Securities in New

as well as dozens of papers. Although most of the stuff here is
public, some of it is limited to paid subscribers.

Yes, economists do have a sense of humor, as this site that originates
in Finland attests. Here's proof: "Talk is cheap. Supply exceeds
demand."
