Microeconomics

14 units · one market at a time

01Basic Economic ConceptsThe building blocks every economist uses — scarcity, trade-offs, and how societies organize production.02Supply & DemandThe foundational model of how prices emerge from the interaction of buyers and sellers in a market.03ElasticityHow responsive buyers and sellers are to price changes — and why it matters for revenue, tax policy, and strategy.04Consumer TheoryHow consumers make choices — preferences, utility, indifference curves, and the budget constraint.05Risk & UncertaintyHow people make decisions under uncertainty — expected value, risk aversion, and the biases that shape real behavior.06Demand TheoryHow individual choices aggregate into market demand — income effects, substitution effects, and aggregation.07Production & CostHow firms turn inputs into outputs — production functions, diminishing returns, and the cost curves that drive business decisions.08Perfect CompetitionThe benchmark market structure — how price-taking firms maximize profit and why economic profit vanishes in the long run.09Market AnalysisMeasuring who gains and who loses — surplus analysis, price controls, taxes, and subsidies.10MonopolyWhat happens when a single firm controls the market — pricing power, inefficiency, and price discrimination.11Oligopoly & Game TheoryWhen a few firms dominate — strategic interaction, Nash equilibrium, and models of oligopoly competition.12Factor MarketsHow wages and employment are determined — labor demand, labor supply, and the marginal revenue product of labor.13Efficiency & WelfareThe big picture — how all markets interact simultaneously and when free markets maximize social welfare.14Information EconomicsWhat happens when one side of the market knows more than the other — adverse selection, moral hazard, and market unraveling.

Macroeconomics

13 units · the whole economy

01Introduction to MacroeconomicsMacroeconomics zooms out from a single market to the whole economy — total output, jobs, prices, and growth.02GDP & National IncomeGross domestic product is the headline number for an economy's size — and there are three ways to compute it.03InflationInflation is a sustained rise in the average level of prices — and it quietly eats the value of your money.04UnemploymentThe unemployment rate is one of the most watched numbers in economics — and it hides as much as it reveals.05Aggregate Demand & SupplyAggregate demand and supply is the workhorse model that explains booms, recessions, inflation, and growth on one diagram.06Macro Equilibrium & ShocksPut aggregate demand and supply together to find where the economy settles — and see what shocks throw it off course.07Fiscal PolicyFiscal policy is the government's use of spending and taxes to speed up or cool down the whole economy.08Money & BankingMoney is one of the great inventions of civilization — and most of it is created not by mints but by banks making loans.09Monetary PolicyMonetary policy is how a central bank adjusts interest rates and the money supply to steady prices and output.10The Phillips CurveThe Phillips curve traces a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment — one that vanishes in the long run.11Economic GrowthEconomic growth is the slow, compounding rise in output per person — the single biggest driver of living standards.12The Open EconomyAn open economy trades goods and money with the world — and exchange rates tie it all together.13Macroeconomic Issues & HistoryMacroeconomics is not just models — it is inequality, the environment, and the hard lessons of real crises.
