An audio course that reviews the relevance of economic thinking in different sectors, from medical ethics to election finance and disasters.

The course feels dated because it does not adequately cover some of the issues with economic thinking that are most obvious today. Cryptocurrency, technological externalities of social media, path dependence of technological choices, the economics of information etc...

Overall pleasant and informative, just a bit out of date.

I picked up these lectures as I was slogging my way through Capital in the 21st Century, this year's surprise best seller by award winning economist Thomas Piketty. Where Capital was obtuse, hard to understand, rambling, these lectures were clear, focused, and enlightening. After finishing these lectures, my understanding of Economics, from basic principles like supply and demand, to more subtle issues, like government policy with regard to trade deficits, grew dramatically. Not only does he present the theories clearly and concisely, he gives current examples and adds in a touch of humor. Highly, highly recommended. I'm looking forward to listening to more lectures by this professor.… (més)

This was not an easy read. However it was very informative. It's a book that someone can go back to several times. It teaches you about the federal reserve, the cost of health insurance and how even groceries can affect our own Economic future. It is a book that everyone should read.

It was good back in 1998 but a bit dated now.
