Economics: Home

Planet Money is an audio program about economics. Since 2008, it has covered many different topics related to economics, explained in simpler terms than most economics classes. It's meant for non-students to learn. However, even students can learn things from it!

The two links below are lists of episodes that deal with content in each of two common Economics textbooks, and I think they might be useful to you to listen to, in addition to your own studies:
