Thanks for signing up to get some Econ 101 with us!
This Crash Course uses the open-source textbook, “Economy, Society, and Public Policy,” published by the nonprofit Core Econ. This textbook offers real-world applications that readers find more useful than what’s typically discussed in traditional textbooks.
Don’t worry about falling behind! Work at your own pace. Each lesson will recap the main points from the chapter and include some thoughts from David Brancaccio or links to related Marketplace stories.
