Course Description
This is a tour of historic economic events decoding them to understand core concepts in Macro-Economics.
Let’s parse that
- ‘why macro-econ’:Central bank and Government budget decisions effect an individual’s financial situation. Knowing what are the stimulators of these decisions can smooth out financial planning. This is where learning Macro-Economics will help sail your boat.
- ‘story-telling’: Macro-economics is nothing but an engaging story of how, why and in what way do People, Government and Central Bank react to economic events. No wonder that the process of learning Macro-Economics should also be a story. We have done exactly that. By looking into historical events with a magnifying glass, we elaborate every little concept that literally govern economic decisions.
- ‘the big picture’: Half knowledge is always dangerous. Everything in macro-economics connects in some way. Understanding how everything intersect in the bigger picture of things only would assure sound decisions. This course helps you understand why recession follows boom, or why interest hike trails inflation. We will connect the dots of major macro-economic concepts.

I guess with this course at your disposal there is no need to do a master degree in Macroeconomics!!!
Carlos Eduardo Fujinaka –
O conteúdo em si é bom, mas a pouca expertise do palestrante com o inglês deixa muito a desejar e deixa a aula mais difícil de ser compreendida. Além disso, as legendas em inglês apresentam vários erros e complicam ainda mais o entendimento de alguns trechos.
