For a limited time (I think), the American Economics Association is providing complimentary access to articles in The Journal of Economic Perspectives. Each issue of the journal provides a series of short papers on one or more topics of common interest as well as other articles of interest to those who want access to the state-of-the-art economic thinking without needing to wade through the sophisticated mathematics or economic arguments that require graduate level training. The Summer 2010 issue, for example, devotes one set of articles to approaches to economic development and a second set to President Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” program. Sample early; sample often.
