About this listen
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.
These thirty-six lectures will help you think about and discuss 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. They require no special or advanced knowledge of mathematics. Instead, you'll learn economics through intuitive explanations and in plain English.
Professor Taylor's first 18 lectures focus on "microeconomics," or looking at economics "from the bottom up." You'll study the behavior of individuals, households, and firms; and how they interact in markets for goods, labor, and saving and investment. Topics in microeconomics include: supply and demand in the free market, monopolies and regulated competition, and public goods.
The second eighteen lectures cover "macroeconomics," or studying the economy "from the top down." Here you will examine the factors that help economists evaluate the economy on a national and global scale. Among these macroeconomic issues are: common ways the government taxes and spends, the relationship between employment and inflation, and international exchange rates.
Throughout, Professor Taylor helps you apply what you are learning to many of today's most frequently discussed and misunderstood issues.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Highly recommended!
I can't rate this highly enough. From basic through to complex economic knowledge (from the perspective of the naive listener like me), this covers the whole gamut. Prof. Taylor is an engaging and impassioned speaker who relates plenty of examples throughout the discourse.

Great Course but needs to be updated
The information is great and has really helped with my studies. But the information is old. Early 2000's so needs to be updated. Would love to hear the point of very in the current economy. Also very American based data and view point which makes it harder when you get to Macro section. But it is American.
PDF helps too.

What does Professor Timothy Taylor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He is a very easy and enjoyable individual to listen to and it felt like I was sitting in his lecture hall deeply engrossed in what he was saying.
