Chapter 4 Websites

There are few good web sites for understanding fundamental economic concepts like supply and demand or elasticities. Sometimes the free site of Encyclopedia Britannica at www.britannica.com will provide background or historical material. When all else fails, you can go to the omnibus economics site on the web www.hkkk.fi/EconVLib.html/, which is expanding rapidly and has on-line materials from many areas.

Current issues such as the minimum wage are often discussed in policy papers at the website of the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank focusing on economic issues of workers, at www.epinet.org.
