Continuing the use of LW as my source for non-fiction recommendations...

Any suggestions on a decent popular-but-not-too-dumbed-down intro to Economics?

Youtube + "econstories". :) (Preferably not just that, but it's good and if you haven't seen it you should.)

Actually, the wikipedia articles are great. Start at economics and follow subtopics as they pique your interest.

John Maynard Keynes: The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. That will probably do more to increase your understanding of economics than any other single book you could pick, Keynes being ridiculously.. better.. than the typical economist, and is in any case a highly recommended prelude to any further readings. - among other things because lying about what Keynes says has become a very popular sport, so familiarity with the original is very useful for detecting later horseshit.
