Why do some countries grow rich while others stand still for decades? Why does coffee get more expensive when frost hits Brazil? And how does a decision made by bankers thousands of kilometres away end up in your wallet?
This course shows you the economy from the inside. We start with people and markets: what we choose when there is never enough to go around, how firms fight for customers, and what happens when they decide to stop competing and start colluding. Then we step back and take in the whole picture: where booms and crises come from, why jobs disappear and appear, what inflation does to your money, and how governments try to keep an economy steady when shocks hit from outside.
By the end, economic news will stop being noise. You'll understand what is behind the headlines and start seeing what comes next.
