The Liber8 online newsletter from the St. Louis Fed is designed for non-economists (librarians to begin with) and has some wonderful articles explaining economic thought and issues in the news. “How Would Modern Macroeconomic Schools of Thought Respond to the Recent Economic Crisis?” is a great introduction to the different perspectives on managing the economy. It may be good preparation for, or alternatively a followup on, the great Keynes vs. Hayek video.
