There was a short discussion on a non-political board I follow about the following link from Chris Martenson. I had never heard of this guy, but I don't obsess over economics or the market, so I can't vouch for him, but from what I've seen he has some very interesting observations on economics, energy and the environment.
He offers a "Crash Course" on the economy that is well worth the time it takes to view it. It isn't a test, just a review of factors shaping our current economic situation, broke up into about 20 short modules. It is an EASY view with everything spelled out simply and with examples and great detail.
I just went though all of the modules last night, and although he hasn't updated it within the last few weeks apparently (no mention of deflation or the rapid temporary degrease in fuel prices) it's pretty current.
Take a look at this and follow me along with a discussion.
