Amateur Economists is an online economics magazine for non-economists. Launched on July 7, 2008, its goal is to apply the simple definition of economics as the study of choices in exploring ways current events affect choices made by individuals and organizations. The magazine focuses on areas that economics has branched out to, such as healthcare, law, politics, literature and art, and science and technology. Its writers are experts in their respective fields and interact with readers through the magazine’s blogs. New articles, blogs, and book reviews are published throughout the day at http://www.amateureconomists.com.
