Those sites look like fun places to learn about economics. In Sweden the engineering physics students were required to take half a semester of business administration. I ended up taking business administration, micro economics, macro economics, tax incident theory (the effect of taxes on the economy), which amounted to an entire year of economics. I studied a little bit more than required.
As an economics major, those all sound fascinating. And true confessions, physics beat me!
