Not sure if you're into it, but an entry level economics class at your local college / university. You'll learn how to draw supply and demand curves, different ways of calculating GDP, how oligopolies and monopolies curves look, etc.
Not at this point. I am a developer and I run a consultancy with one more guy, so I am generally short of hours. But I will see how much I can grasp on my own and then may be consider something.
