some new ideas during the first week of the Economics of ICT and
digital markets. These ideas will be further developed and made more

scholarship, reading some of the following popular books may be a good
way to do so:

Another
way to keep familiarizing yourself with academic economic thinking is
to follow the weekly Free Exchange blog at the Economist:
