Article Abstract:

There is a wide range of material that is of interest to economics teachers dealing with undergraduate students. Christina and David Romer have assessed the impact of monetary policy on people who are poor, in 'Monetary Policy and the Well-Being of the Poor'. Meanwhile, Sylvia Nasar's 'Is the US Income Gap Really a Big Problem' examines the views of two economists on this issue. Other useful works include articles in the popular press, including a guide to the best web sites for those interested in economics.

Article Abstract:

Readings that may help in teaching economics at undergraduate level include the World Bank's 'World Development Report' which focuses on knowledge in the 1998-1999 volume. Knowledge is seen as a key to economic development. The United Nations Development Program's 'Human Development Report' argues for changes in consumption patterns in the 1998 volume. Other useful material for teaching comes from the popular press as well as more conventional sources such as the Federal Reserve.
