try{const DEAR_READER_HEADING_HTML="Whether you're new to economics or just want to deepen your understanding, this course covers the basics and connects them to today’s pressing issues—from inequality to public policy decisions.
Each week, you'll receive a reading guide that distills core principles, offers actionable takeaways, and explains how they affect the current world. While the full ebook enriches the experience, the guides alone provide a comprehensive understanding of fundamental economic ideas.
You’ll find this course especially useful and unique because…
- It allows you to understand economics in action: Real-life examples and analysis of current events that show you economics at work.
- There’s no prior knowledge required: Complex ideas are broken into simple, relatable explanations.
- You can be flexible with your learning according to your lifestyle: Go at your own pace, with weekly guides that fit your schedule.
