While I'm writing this, my memory just goes back like a waterfall. It's been a long time since I kept in touch with this course. I had doubts about how a professor could look so young—he looked just like the coach at my school. And it turns out I was right. Jimmy was a really nice teacher; he's not just built different. He's funny, he's smart, and he's part of a generation of teachers who understand the mentality of the younger generation. He just made me so excited that I ended up studying this course through my sleep time—for a straight 16 hours. If I got a son and he just wanted to study finance for fun, I prob will give him this course, and eventually he will love finance. And not just that—the course is also really detailed. I love this course, and I just found out he has two more courses in a big certificate that includes A Story of Economics: A Principles Tale. I immediately signed up. 10/10, there's no doubt about this.

If you are understanding only one course, this should be the one . Just look around you. This course covers essential topics such as supply and demand, market equilibrium, and the role of government in addressing market failures. These concepts are crucial for understanding and navigating the complexities of our modern economy. The global economy is facing rising geopolitical tensions, (conflicts in the Middle East, ) disrupting trade and contributed to economic instability. A better understanding of international trade and economic interdependence could have helped mitigate some of these issues. Prof, Jimmy DeNicco is a economic prophet. His lectures are prescriptions for people to make better decisions and contribute to a more informed society
