Using Economics at About.com Effectively
While Economics at About.com is meant mainly as a general purpose tool, it can also be very helpful for students who are enrolled in introductory (or more advanced, in some cases) economics courses either at the college or high school level. For those people just wanting to learn about economics online, it makes perfect sense to simply go through the site tabs in order (also linked below) or browse for a topic of interest, but students likely want to follow their courses and/or assigned textbooks. A road map that corresponds to popular textbooks and topics is provided below as well.
