Fundamental Economics: First Principles

OVER TWO BILLION PEOPLE in today's world live on less than $2 a day. Economic experts agree that this is not a problem of production. The technology exists to feed, clothe, shelter, as well as to create wealth for not just 6 billion plus people, but many more. The problem is not a problem of production or technology, but of distribution. This is a scandal that should concern all of us.

Even here, in the mightiest city of the USA, homelessness is on the rise and it gets harder and harder to make a living. What is it that keeps us from achieving our economic potential?

Here is a course that demystifies the principles of economics. It provides the conceptual tools you need to understand boom/bust cycles, chronic poverty and other economic problems. No longer will economics be a frustrating, murky, "dismal science"!
