I just signed up for Principles of Microeconomics. The prof seems very passionate about teaching the subject! I haven't taken an economics course since high school so this should be a good refresher.

Thanks for posting this! I've been wanting to find something like this!

This may have been posted before(though a precursory search didn't uncover a link), but the Mises Institute is a gold mine for free ebooks and lectures on economics. Literature Library: free books from the Ludwig von Mises Institute

Some of the must reads are:

"Why American History Is Not What They Say" Jeff Riggenbach

"Men of Wealth: The Story of Twelve Significant Fortunes from the Renaissance to the Present Day" John T. Flynn

"Foundations of the Market Price System" Milton M. Shapiro

"The Pure Time-Preference Theory of Interest" Jeffrey M. Herbener - This is the single greatest book I have ever read on consumer thinking, and I've read a lot of them.

"On Freedom and Free Enterprise: Essays in Honor of Ludwig von Mises" Mary Sennholz

There are many more that I am forgetting, and I don't feel that I can comment on them without violating forum rules. So if you do believe in free enterprise, you will more than likely enjoy their free ebooks.

Little bump. Because Coursera should be a tool everybody on this forum is using. Free knowledge from respected sources.
