Economics, 3rd Edition

Economics, 3rd Edition consists of 36 video lectures taught by Professor Timothy Taylor, discussing economic issues in both microeconomics and macroeconomics. It deals with economic issues such as interest rates, unemployment, personal investing, budget deficits, and globalization. The first 18 lectures focus on microeconomics, studying the behavior of individuals, households, and firms; and how they interact in markets for goods, labor, and saving and investment. And the second half of the course covers macroeconomics, examining the factors that help economists evaluate the economy on a national and global scale.
