It is through asking, answering and discussion that learning takes place. where economic situations are assessed, research done and then ideas put forward to be challenged. This is about 'living' Economics as it really is happening, right now. If you are looking for a course that is frequently updated, new lectures, new resources and a constant encouragement for students to join in and participate in discussions - then this IS the course for you.

I have just started with the course and tbh, I'm already started getting a lot of value and moreover I'm also being able to connect with the instructor to a great extent with his ideology, perspective and so on.

The material tended to drift away from the main subject area, and I found the lectures to be relatively monotone and uninteresting.

I watched the Section 1 even though English is my first language and I learnt so many new things! I was dreading a course in Economy as it not where I stand out, but I became more and more confident about learning it just because of the teacher and his teaching methods!

I really enjoyed how Chris interlinked the US and UK politics and that with macro economics. As I am looking forward to work in the US or UK, it was interesting to have insights into their culture. I also saw various other videos related to this topic on youtube, so it did broaden my perspective. As a student of Chartered Accountancy, I am familiar with economics but more to the laws and theories, so this real world macro economics seemed really interesting! Thank you

The economics in this course was not very clear as to what the long words meant - without a google search. Also the economics in this and all the economics courses that I have took have been about merely messing around with markets instead of making big money for everybody. I'm not saying this course is any worse than the rest of them but the world's people need cash and lots of it and I think that this world's economists are faffing around with their duties instead of trying to make everybody extremely rich. What Donald Trump says about the Fed Chairman is right - but he only cares about America. Can economists make the world great?

An excellent course which was very engaging throughout. Chris' enthusiasm makes its enjoyable to study economics, and when I have had queries in the past the response time is extremely quick. I highly recommend this course and all others created by Chris. Thank you!

This was an excellent course. It covers the Teresa May's reign as Prime Minister and how she deals with the problems she encountered with Brexit for example. Additionally it covers the way that the USA and the american public deals with their lives. The tutor was very clear throughout the lectures with good explanations and diagrams. The video and sound quality throughout the course were excellent. the tutor went into great detail on various topics, the bits I enjoyed the most was finding out the attitudes Americans have towards spending and the ways they look at savings and retirement for instance. During one of my previous courses, I asked this tutor a general question and he came back to me within 24 hours, which is excellent. Overall, I highly recommend this course to all of you and if this is the standard he sets, I am very much looking forward to some of his other courses, I don't think you will be disappointed. Many thanks.

Another great course from Chris. The clarity of his words makes this fascinating subject easy to understand with real life examples. Lot of knowledge in very short length! Update: I have now completed the course and am pleased to say there was an unexpected bonus at the end! Not trying to sell me something but several lectures aimed at saving my life. Titled “ This is not Economics but is very important” these extra lectures contained tips to avoid strokes. These are not in the course description so we’re a surprise gift - thank you Overall: An excellent short course dealing with two major economies at a particular point in time. A window into the world of Economics

I really enjoyed this course. It is very up to date which makes it very interesting. It varies between going very deep - National debt - to magazine style -"What do Americans spend their money on?" If the course is maintained and kept up to date I'm sure it will be very popular.

This is a great course on economics in the real world. One can easily relate how economics is applied to what's currently occurring. This certainly makes learning more interesting and engaging as opposed to economics being a dry subject. A must have for anyone interested in finding out how political decisions will affect you.

Economics and politics aren't a combination I would usually get excited about, but this course is interesting and made the more so by the inclusion of relevant and up to date news stories, and I felt I gained an insight into what the future holds for my children and grandchildren as a result of the political and economic decisions being made now and in the past. I think our grandchildren need to be taught Mandarin in school after listening to this. There was sound advice for real-world applications in terms of addressing our own personal economics and consumerist attitudes. I don't think the gig economy is unique to the up and coming generation. I have spent most of my adult life in this economy - forced there by discrimination over health issues. I have no desire to put an end to the gig economy, but I would like to see people dealt with fairly, and taxed fairly. Currently, the government, in my opinion, preys on the people in this economy as a soft target, while letting the heavily lawyered wealthy alone, out of fear.
