Macroeconomics: Crash Course Economics #5

Spread The Viralist



This week, Adriene and Jacob teach you about macroeconomics. This is the stuff of big picture economics, and the major movers in the economy. Like taxes and monetary policy and inflation and policy. We need this stuff, because if you don’t have a big picture of the economy, crashes and panics are more likely. Of course, economics is extremely complex and unpredictable. Today we’ll talk about GDP as a measure of a country’s economic health, the basics of economic analysis, and even a little about full employment, unemployment

  1. So I've created a machine learning algorithm that plays flappy bird pretty dam well… I would like to take you up on the flappy bird challenge offer.

  2. Adriene's excitement and energy levels is what making this video and macroeconomics more interesting, and Jacob's outfit and teaching skills are breaking new highs on every video 😂

  3. I think you guys talk way too fast!!!! What the HELL is the mad crazy rush?! You make it difficult for people to process what you are saying. Think about this please.

  4. I’m watching this video during the corona virus pandemic of 2020 and I’m starting to realize how bad of shape the US economy is in 🥺

  5. Love your energy! <3 The first video I watched, I had to set the speed to 0.95x to understand better, but your playful and energetic manners of teaching have really made this topic very interesting to me. Thank you!

  6. Watching this is making cringe even more at the global situation right now thou mostly US problems with unemployment and useless government un-leaders
