Principles of MicroEconomics An excellent site. When the home page appears you will be faced with four options. One of the buttons is labelled 'The classroom'. Click on this and a new page will open up. Down the Right Hand side of the screen you will see a list of items. Look for the word 'presentations' and click on it. A list of microeconomics topics will appear in the Right Hand frame. Click on the topic you are interested in and the material in the Left Hand frame will change. Read the introductory material you will see there and then click on the 'bar' labelled Open the Presentation. You will then be able to proceed through a large number of very well presented and colourful slides on that topic.

Economics. Here you will find articles on current policy issues and internet links to other sites. It is compiled by a graduate student at MIT. Highly recommended.

Probably the most famous economics book of all time is Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations. The full text of this magnificent work is available on line from three sites. It is available at our own (the Department of Economics at the University of Melbourne's) Electronic Library, from the Department of Economics at McMaster University and it is also at a commercial digital library called Bibliomania.
