Want to learn basic economics

[scottwilly]

So I want to understand basics of economics. Right now I refer to wikipedia to understand some economics terms that I don't understand but I find myself lost in all those tabs and never get the basic concepts. I want to be able to understand currency exchanges, central bank, IPO, liquidity, inflation and likewise. So I have to count on you guys to suggest some nice interesting source to learn the basics. I don't want in-depth analysis and all and I would prefer it concise and example-centric . Please suggest.

Look up khanacademy.com It has many concepts that are explained very clearly. Additionally I would suggest you to search for videos on YouTube, some concepts are very well explained using animations etc. There is one particular channel that explains a lot of economics in a very clear and easy manner. I currently cannot recollect the name. Will post once I remember/find.
