Principles of Economics

Principles of Economics
8 chapters | ~2 hours

This course gives you a clear, practical grounding in how the economy works, built around the ten principles that N. Gregory Mankiw uses to summarise economic thinking. You will learn how people make decisions under scarcity, how markets and prices coordinate millions of choices, when governments can improve on market outcomes, and what drives living standards, inflation and unemployment at the level of the whole economy. Every idea is explained in plain English with real business examples so that you can apply economic reasoning to pricing, hiring, investment and everyday trade-offs immediately.
