Fiscal Policy and Multipliers Practice
Slide the marginal propensity to consume and watch one dollar of new spending ripple out into a larger change in GDP. Then answer five exam-style questions on multipliers, crowding out, and automatic stabilizers.
One tile of the full fiscal policy unit.
The course teaches fiscal policy interactively — drag the graphs, practice with feedback, and spaced reviews bring it back before you forget. Free.

Spaced reviews
FSRS brings every concept back right before you'd forget. ~50% better retention than re-reading.
Per-concept mastery
Performance Factor Analysis tracks each sub-skill separately — you see which version of the idea is still wobbly.
Diagnostic placement
A short test skips you past what you already know. No re-learning the basics.
