Welcome. I started this blog for my economics students, but any other fans of economics (and science or history) are welcome. My goal for this blog is to provide background on current events. Hopefully, the links to interesting newspaper articles, videos, data, books, web sites, and research will convince you that economics is fascinating and relevant to your life.

This is a clip for a BBC program that I think premieres this week. I'll see if any of my English/Irish friends are sophisticated enough to send over the whole program.
