$29.99
What you’ll learn
-
Understand macroeconomics
-
Understand economic policy-making
-
Make business decisions informed by knowledge of the state of the macroeconomy
People generally have a hard time understanding macroeconomics, but after 7 years of teaching this course at university level, I have mastered the best ways of explaining its concepts for students to be able to understand them and relate them to the real world.
This course is ideal for university students who are struggling to make sense of their textbooks and lectures, and will allow them to get better grades.
This course is also ideal for professionals and citizens who want to better understand the economic concepts they deal with in work and daily life, such as inflation, unemployment, monetary policy, and fiscal policy. This course will help you understand questions such as: Why does the government engage in expansionary fiscal policy? What is the motivation behind reducing taxes? What are the implications of a drop in interest rates? What determines the money supply? After taking this course, you will be able to better understand how macroeconomic events impact your life, and can make better-informed decisions.
The course is composed of 12 lectures, totaling 2 hours and 40 minutes of video. Each lecture will come with detailed lecture notes that emphasize and explain the main ideas. There will also be several practice problems for students to complete. For best results, students are urged to read the notes, watch the video, re-read the notes, and then solve the practice problems.
Who this course is for:
- University students who want to understand macroeconomics
- Professionals who want to understand how macroeconomics impacts their work.
- Citizens who want to understand government economic policy.

The instructor fails to give clear explanations to more complex relationships in the course.
Eg. Why is investment an inverse function of interest rate?
Also the instructor doesn’t seem confident about his grasp of the topic. Naturally, as students, we become less receptive.

Amazing course!! You can tell Saifedean knows the subject really well as he takes the time to thoroughly explain every step of the course and by giving examples on board. Unlike many so-called teachers out there who monotonously read books behind pictures, Saifedean is in front of the camera talking and showing how macroeconomic works with such an ease! It’s really refreshing. Well done Saifedean. Looking forward to more courses from him. Hugely recommend it. Bravo

I think some more real life examples/analogies could have been used.

Outstanding course sir. This is information dense…you waste no time getting right into the “nuts and bolts” of the topic. I’m going to use this information as part of my career change into trading the markets, and general macroeconomics is highly useful in that field, but this is practical for anyone wanting an introduction into the subject. I also appreciate the various documents that you have available (although at the moment, there are several that are coming up unavailable, at least on my android device). Regardless, thank you for an outstanding primer into a very practical and broad topic. May the Lord bless and keep you…cheers!

Gave a good gist on macroeconomics. As a beginner, it was a bit fast for me and unclear with some jargons.

A good Keynes’s vision. Maybe another class about Hayek to compare. Thanks teacher.

Very pleasant. The instructor was highly informative and always clear when certain concepts were “up for debate”/”easy to disagree with”
