Course Description
Hi, I’m Brad, and I’m excited that you are interested in diving into the fascinating world of Macroeconomics together.
Macroeconomics is about understanding the big picture—how entire economies function, why policies succeed or fail, and how global forces shape our lives. It’s the study of human behavior on a grand scale, and through this course, I hope to share my passion for economics in a way that’s engaging, practical, and easy to understand.
This course includes over 85 video lessons and downloadable notes, covering topics like:
An Introduction to Macroeconomics
Gross National Product and Other Economic Measures
Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply
Macroeconomic Equilibrium
Low Unemployment
Low and Stable Rate of Inflation
Economic Growth
Equity in the Distribution of Income
Fiscal and Monetary Policy
Supply-Side Policies
I teach economics because it’s endlessly fascinating—it’s the study of people, their stories, and the societal forces we live in. Economics isn’t just about charts and numbers. It’s about understanding ourselves, our choices, and the systems that shape our world. I genuinely believe that a deep understanding of economics can help us better understand the human condition, and I’m thrilled to help you discover that for yourself.
A Weekly Bonus
As part of this course, you’ll receive a subscription to my weekly newsletter, Just One Thing. Each Monday, you’ll get a two-minute breakdown of one essential economic concept, delivered straight to your inbox. It’s a quick and stress-free way to expand your understanding of economics, one idea at a time.
I’ve been lucky to see the world through a unique lens—as a former Peace Corps Volunteer, a graduate of Duke University, and someone who has traveled to over 55 countries. These experiences deeply influence how I teach economics, with real-world examples, a global perspective, and a passion for making these concepts relatable to everyone.
Let’s dive into the exciting world of macroeconomics together—I'd love to join on your journey.
