Summary 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. This lecture series will help you think about and discuss these and other economic issues that affect you and the nation every day--interest rates, unemployment, personal investing, budget deficits, globalization, and many more--with a greater level of knowledge and sophistication.
Note Course guidebook includes professor biography, statement of course scope, lecture outlines with diagrams and notes, glossary, biographical notes, and bibliography.
Thirty-six lectures of thirty minutes each by Timothy Taylor, Professor of Economics, Macalester College, managing editor of the Journal of Economic Perspectives, a quarterly journal published by the American Economic Association.
