About this course

Understand how economies work with Adriene Hill and Jacob Clifford of Crash Course: supply and demand, inflation, money and banking, trade, and the big debates behind the news. Who it's for: Class 11 and 12 and college economics students, exam aspirants building their basics, and anyone who wants to understand the economy. Most examples come from the US economy.
