I guess, I would ask you what or where you are trying to get to since it's a yugely broad category. Personal finance, market finance, market economics, etc.

Old interviews with great economists are also amazing as a resource in the digital age since often those interviews are aimed at laymen and not stuffy academic works.

Taibbi is THE guy to read when it comes to the 2008 financial crisis. He was doing amazing work for Rolling Stone back then.GrundleStiltzkin said:Got my woke on too.
