What you’ll learn
-
Understand human behavior as it relates to economics
-
Apply understanding to your own life
-
Enjoy and understand economics more than you ever expected
If you want to better understand human behavior and the economic consequences of it, or if you want to take more control of decisions in your own life, you should have a solid understanding of economics.
Human beings are not robots or mindless automatons, and thus our behaviors cannot be predicted with mathematical formulas, so methods of physical sciences are not appropriate to explain human activity. That is why your previous economic study was probably meaningless to you and why you might run away from this subject like a building on fire.
In contrast, Austrian economics fits nicely with common sense and the reality of everyday human behavior on the ground, and it is easy for the average person to understand. Conventional economics deals much more in the abstract and artificial, and only is meaningful to advanced practitioners. If economics is the study of human behavior, what kind of economics can’t be understood by the average person?
Correct choices taken in the real world are important to your well-being, and when you finally understand proper economic principles, the world will make more sense to you in an exhilarating way. You will see things more clearly and think more independently.
In these times, economic understanding is more important than ever and knowing how things really work is priceless. That’s why this course is packed with value.
It features 30 video lessons of 5-8 minutes, presented in compelling and informative visual style. You can finish the course material in about 3 hours, and at the end there is a comprehensive and challenging quiz (100 questions) to test your grasp of the material.
The instructor welcomes questions and feedback from students.
Who this course is for:
- Curious minds of any age
- Homeschooling students and families
- University level business students
- Young people concerned about their economic futures

Jorge Besada –
I really appreciate the effort that went into creating this course. Kudos to Fast Uptake and everyone involved in helping spread such vital knowledge. Mises would have been proud for your efforts in “the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.”
“Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore, everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.” Mises

The course is an amazing introduction to Austrian economics. It gives key examples and fundamentals and the visuals and narration add a unique appeal. The delivery of this course was simple and inspiring. This is valuable information and I highly recommend this course

I like the course, and I’m learning a lot.
Still, the voice is a little hard to follow for me (maybe bc english isn’t my first language), and I need to pause the video to take a look at the presentation a lot, it is hard to follow without stopping to take a closer look at the presentation and think.
But anyways it’s a great course and explains things clearly and with examples and quotes. Recommended.
Joseph Abruzzo –
This is a great basic course on Austrian Economics. It provides a nice comparative to today’s economic mindset. Most significantly, it recognizes the importance of the individual “as” an individual and not just some nondescript/impersonal aggregate “thing” in the economy for the benefit of the State’s ability to measure “things”. — The Instructor’s explanations are clear and understandable. The explanations follow seamlessly from visual aid to visual aid, section by section. All concepts are explained and connected to each new concept in a straightforward and understandable manner.
Quentin Danziger –

Very fast-paced. Easy to stay focused and interested!
Brian Graybeal –
I am hopeful the “fundamentals” will be better. The ‘foundations’ is a mess.
