INET Community Members Suggest Resources to Help Provoke New Thinking

At INET, we believe that new economic thinking can emerge from being exposed to a variety of resources. We recently asked our community about what they saw as the best places to look for new information and ideas. The community responded, and gave us quite a few good websites, books, and other resources.

Here is a selection:

Hip Heterodoxy, an article in The Nation by Christopher Hayes, recommended by tentman, who notes that "It's time to start new discussions, and leave the fights behind."

The Levy Institute, the website for the nonprofit research organization, suggested by Stephan Ewald

INET community member Techno-Economics10 gives an impressive list of resources related to heterodox economic theories, starting with its Wikipedia entry.

The Lights in the Tunnel: Automation, Accelerating Technology and the Economy of the Future, a book by Martin Ford, suggested by pauldenice, who says that the book is a "must read in view of some already observable trends in the evolution of the labour market and its predictable impact on future economic growth and society organisation at large."

Michael Harrington suggests the use of wikis to broaden and expand economic thinking.

Rand Herz lists a range of websites, which he says will push the boundaries of current thinking. His suggestions include ecogeek.com, seekingalpha.com, and entrepreneur.com.

INET community member hisham.shehabi suggests several blogs, including the Harvard Business Review Blog, where, according to the user, "you get the latest research on management, innovation, talent management and other informative subjects."

And that's just a few of the resources suggested. Please take a look at the topic on our Q&A Forum to look at the rest, and to add your own.
