Kilkenomics

It seems I'm not the only one who wants to break barriers to entry into difficult topics. There is an economics festival in Kilkenny, Ireland. The festival brings several economists and comedians together for a long weekend of lectures and Q&A sessions designed to make the topic approachable to laypeople.

Sadly, I can't verify whether their information is accurate and thorough, but if they've got their fact straight, and if mass-education effects like summits and wikis do more good than harm in general, I like that someone out there is trying something.
