Paul Krugman has decided to take this broad topic of economics and create a class that provides viewers with the information they need to know to better understand the world and how economics plays a role in their lives.

MasterClass Economics & Society Key Takeaways
Paul Krugman has created a fantastic class that really goes in-depth, while also providing viewers with topics that are relevant to viewer’s daily lives. He talks about how economics is about the ordinary business of life. It is about understanding how people earn a living and how they spend their income. Along with these fundamental topics, this class goes in-depth on everything from the 2008 recession to looking a problems and solutions with regards to the American private health care market.
It’s never been more important to educate yourself.
What I really loved about this class was Paul’s use of figures and online services that allowed him to provide real data and figures to help make his point. Viewers are able to see what happened, or in this case what didn’t happen, to inflation when more money was printed during the 2008 recession and he shows viewers how to use many of these public databases, including the OECD, to get the reliable information they are looking for.
