We are all economists—when we work, buy, save, invest, pay
taxes, and vote. It repays us many times over to be good economists.
Economic issues are active in our lives every day. However, when
the subject of economics comes up in conversation or on the news,
we can find ourselves longing for a more sophisticated understanding
of the fundamentals of economics.
Taught by Professor Timothy Taylor—the Managing Editor of the
Journal of Economic Perspectives, a quarterly academic journal
published by the American Economic Association—Economics, 3rd
Edition enables you to master the basis of economics. Throughout
this course, you’ll learn about financial issues that affect you and the
nation every day—interest rates, unemployment, personal investing,
globalization, and many more—with a greater level of knowledge
and sophistication. The bottom line: become fluent in the language
of economics.
This course is one of The Great Courses®, a noncredit, recorded
