I have discovered a nifty way to build your Econ knowledge and understanding while driving in your car - the Teaching Company sells lectures by some of the top instructors in the country. You may feel a little nerdy telling your friends that you listen to econ lectures instead of classic rock, but if you read this blog you are just a few steps away. :)
Here are my suggestions.
Economics, 3rd Edition hits all the major themes (without the numbers, charts, or graphs) you would encounter in a Principles of Micro/Macro course. (It's on sale right now)
History of the U.S. Economy in the 20th Century is just that. The lecture on the Great Depression is helpful. (It's also on sale right now)
Legacies of Great Economists gives a bio of 10 of the great economic thinkers - my favorite is Milton Friedman if anyone cares.
Modern Economic Issues gives the econ spin on issues from sports stadiums to health care.
