Adding to the list of reading material suggested by others:
Introduction to Economic Analysis by Preston McAfee. Its available at
http://www.introecon.com
Its hard core economics book which I hear (no, I have not read it )
covers the economics of abundance - the underlying philosophy of free
stuff - in contrast with the economics of scarcity - on which
philosophy much of today's laws and business models are framed.
Do tell us if you find it worthwhile :-)
regds,
