Material Detail

A free video course in microeconomics, taught one idea at a time in a teaching order. Each video first teaches the concept the way a textbook defines it, explains it step by step with animated diagrams, and then tests it on real data from official sources such as the Federal Reserve's FRED database and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

It begins with demand and supply, market equilibrium, shifts versus movements along a curve, the four elasticities, and consumer and producer surplus, then continues to price controls, taxes and deadweight loss, consumer choice, costs and market structures as the course grows to about seventy videos. Each video runs 4 to 8 minutes, has chapter markers and English subtitles, and ends with key points for revision.

Every video is paired with a full written article on the same topic at maseconomics.com, so students can read the idea in depth after watching it.

Suitable for high school students, including AP® Microeconomics and A-level, and for first-year college students. New videos are added regularly.
