Among the resources I know and use are:
Paul Graham's essays, like many people here (I prefer reading them on paper anyway, but all of them are available on his website);
Joel Spolsky's blog (joelonsoftware.com) used to have very good articles (lately it's not as good as it used to be); he had the best of them published, too.
Eric Sink's blog (software.ericsink.com); great articles on marketing and business for geeks.
There are good articles about the basics of business in the Trizoko online business journal: http://www.trizle.com/trizoko
On changethis.com you'll find a lot of great PDFs on business subjects (very good resource; there is good stuff by Seth Godin here)
For economics, I'm reading the work of Frédéric Bastiat, available online here: bastiat.org.
1. Read something
2. Try it out.
3. Ask questions of others about the results, then go read more, try it again, and so on.
Not quite so easy for economics, business and marketing.
Isn't it ever! If you all will pardon me for going on a bit more about my site squeezed books, one of the things that is very frustrating about trying to learn something about business, economics, and marketing is that you realize there is this gaping hole in on-line resources compared to what I know and love - computers, where you can do everything on your own.
