Beautiful Economics

It studies how individuals, businesses, governments, and nations make choices on allocating resources to satisfy their wants/needs and many more things just awaiting for everyone. I love how clear the lessons are - lots of practical advice and plenty of case studies / downloadable assets that i can reference again and again.

Regards,

SAM

An excellent, practical view of why?

With other analysis courses with other organizations I felt like I was getting sold something. Herold is very knowledgeable and passes that information on in a concise and professional way.
