Good course, really enjoyed it. I think the Financial crisis of 2007/2008 could be better explained in terms of the causes.

Bite size, simplified and interesting. Highly recommend!
By Anonymized User on 1/27/2017
A bit different than expected. I thought it was about understanding the stock market a little better and maybe tips on investing. Instead it was mostly about derivatives and credit swaps and how these relate to the economy and the market and what could have led to the 2008 upheaval.
By Kevin Hagan on 12/6/2015
This course provided an excellent description of the financial economy and what affects each aspect of it. A must for those who seek to better understand the stock market and financial markets as a whole.

Great course about the Stock Market for everyone. I have learned from from the beginning with the experience of a Nobel Prize.
