Thank you so much for the course! It was really helpful in terms of learning the basics of economics. The mathematics part was a bit challenging but I will review it once again.

Presentation quality & knowledge level is excellent. I enjoying .... There is a lot of discussion regarding Demand but discussion of supply is not enough i would like to more about supply too
By Sireesha Vangala on 10/3/2020
I definitely like how the complexity of the fundamental concepts and underlying principles are introduced in a very lay and simple fashion, making them easily accessible.
By Rupsha Bhattacharyya on 7/17/2020
The course is the first formal economics course for me. It introduces very basic concepts. There should be some resources like problem sheets etc and case studies for this course
By Then Arifin on 7/9/2020
I always trust Mr. Raja Natarajan as a great Economy and Financial Guru. I have collected a few courses of Financial and Economy from Mr. Raja and try to gain a knowledge more and more in Financial sector. This economy course provided a lot of basic economy knowledge you need to know.

Hi, I need to voice this out. It is unorganised. here are the ff: 1.) In the concept of utility it did not emphasize where the Indifference curve approach was or is there? I had to figure it out by myself. 2.) In the elasticity of demand, Income elasticity and cross-elasticity was mentioned, but never discussed. 3.) Another thing that was mentioned but was never discussed was the Factors determining elasticity of demand and its importance. 4.) Another thing that was mentioned again but was never discussed were the five fundamental concept in decision making. After discussing the 1st one, incremental Concept, Time concept, Discounting concept, Opportunity cost, Equi-Marginal principle was omitted. out of the 5 only one was discussed. 5.) Mentioning macroeconomics with out at least giving some basics of it for us with zero econ knowledge to at least know the difference. I had to research it myself Good economist but a needs to improve a lot in teaching. Sorry If I had to be upfront. I'm still thankful I'm learning a lot.
By Suresh Menon on 7/13/2018
Very Good and I think even macro economics should also be included, as an extension to these lectures or as separate lectures. Good explanations of concept and interesting. Thanks.
By Chris Malek on 12/17/2017
Everything is explained well and easy to follow thus far. Instructor had a strong grasp of topic and the exercises he performed demonstrated the information well. I will take more courses with this professor in the future.
By Lai Hong Yi on 12/17/2017
The instructor's thick Indian accent makes the whole course very interesting and motivating. His example on the law of diminishing returns regarding apple consumption is very humorous. I never laughed so hard while listening to an Udemy course.
By Mujahid Akram on 1/20/2015
I always loved accounting and hated economics because I didn't know the basics of economics. This course gave me insight info about the economics and now I love Economics. Teaching style is simple and effective. Everything is well knitted and completely explained. Thank you so Much Ca Raja.
