Economics is one of those topics that, to me, seems quite dry from the outside. However, I knew from the free videos that this course would be different. Brad's passion comes through strongly, and he is such an engaging teacher. One of the promises in the very first videos is that you will start to understand more about the news and politics. I found this to be spot on, as only a short while later, I had a series of 'Aha' moments when the penny finally dropped about terminology I had heard before. Highly recommend!

Brad is an exceptional teacher. I bought his Microeconomics course too, and my only wish is that I found this course at the beginning of my university studies! His ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and engaging way is unparalleled. Every lesson feels well-structured and accessible, no matter your starting point. He's the best teacher I've seen, and I genuinely feel more confident in my understanding of economics because of his courses.

This guy is ahhh-azing! He has clearly deconstructed and explained what my teacher made as clear as mud. I totally get it now—thank you! Brad is by far one of the best Economics teachers, and being a member of this site has completely transformed my experience in class! I finally feel confident walking into tests and actually enjoy studying Economics now. I only wish I had found this site sooner—it’s been a total game changer!

The best thing I did for my IB Economics studies! I absolutely love Brad's courses—worth every cent! I've bought them all.

Brad explains complex economic concepts with such clarity and a contagious passion that makes learning enjoyable. The videos are not only easy to follow but also incredibly effective at helping me truly understand the material. If you’re a serious IB Economics student, you’d be crazy not to buy all of his courses. It’s hands down the best decision I made for my studies--I'm getting all 7s now. Just buy his courses and thank me later.

Brad takes what could, on the surface, be an intimidating topic and makes it very accessible. In addition to that, he tackles ethical issues from a truly human (not merely abstract) perspective and also has an engaging style that feels less like being talked at and more like being in a classroom (even if it really is just on a screen). I thoroughly enjoyed this course, and when I go to take more economics courses, Brad Cartwright will be the first name I search.

Thanks, Brad—fantastic course! I just spent the last two days going through your Macroeconomics course, and I now have a much clearer understanding of how it all works. While I don’t plan to formally study the subject, I can already apply what I’ve learned to Forex trading. The energy was great, I stayed engaged the entire time, and I’ve taken tons of notes that will help me with currency trading moving forward. Not only that, but I can now watch Real Vision Finance and actually understand what they’re saying—especially how different factors impact currency movements. The course length was just right, and the repetition reinforced key concepts without overdoing it. Thanks again—I might have to try some maté now! :)

Thanks so much for the wonderful learning experience. The concepts were explained so clearly that throughout the course, Macroeconomics felt simple and easy to learn. I had struggled to understand many concepts while reading books, but this course made everything much clearer. Now, I can confidently draw all the relevant diagrams and understand the implications of changes in different factors. Thanks again to Brad Cartwright—this course has helped me reach a stage where I can form my own unbiased, practical economic and political opinions.

I've taken Brad's Micro and Macro courses, and as I mentioned in a previous review, he is an exceptionally bright and insightful teacher.

These lectures were fantastic—I enjoyed every single one. The explanations were clear, the examples were excellent, and I was completely engaged throughout the course.

This course has sparked my excitement to learn even more about economics, and I will definitely continue. Thank you so much, and I wish you all the success you deserve.bout results that your course provides.

Love the teaching style! The content is broken down in great detail with clear visuals, organized into well-structured, digestible chunks. The instructor has a great personality and keeps things engaging, even while watching from my phone. The brief videos provide just the right amount of detail for a complete understanding, with natural breaks that allow time to connect concepts to real-life examples. This course truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you!

Prema

Love this course! I took it as a refresher since I last studied macroeconomics a couple of decades ago, and Brad's presentation made it so engaging and easy to understand—not a single moment of boredom! It cleared up my lingering questions about fiscal and monetary policy and the two opposing economic views. Completing this course has given me a solid foundation for understanding financial markets and the government's role in the economy. Thank you, Brad! :)

Harrison Toy

United Kingdom

Practical, thorough, and well-organized explanation of macroeconomics. I really appreciate the enthusiasm and emphasis on real-world application, making each concept easy to understand. I don’t usually enjoy lectures or video presentations, but this was truly engaging, and the concepts were connected seamlessly. I’m grateful for how this course has helped me begin my studies in macroeconomics, and I’ll definitely be watching it again.

Nancy Anne Hansen

Denmark

Brad was thorough, engaging, and incredibly easy to understand. I took economics in college 30 years ago and am relearning the basics of macroeconomics for my own knowledge and growth. Wow! If the rest of the course is as good as what I’ve seen so far, I’m excited to keep learning. Now midway through, I’m still enjoying it—the practical examples make the concepts so easy to grasp. So well presented!

Yusuf Ari

Turkey

I'm honestly in disbelief at how fun, engaging, and exciting learning can be through an online course like this. This is my first online course, and my Yerba Mate-loving friend here is doing a sensational job. I can't wait to finish this and dive into Microeconomics next. I really hope other teachers I come across in the future are as enthusiastic as Brad—if not, it would feel like getting a supercar right after getting your license!

Jan Jansen Relacion

Fantastic! The course breaks down complex economic concepts into clear, easy-to-understand lessons, making it accessible for learners of all levels.

Nazli Hassan

I’ve never had a teacher as excellent as Brad. I struggled to understand macroeconomics in my MBA class, but learning it through this course has been both enjoyable and easy. His energy is truly impressive, making even complex topics engaging. While there is some repetition, it reinforces key concepts without ever feeling boring, thanks to Brad’s dynamic approach.

Michał Potasiński

This course is like a lighthouse standing alone in the vast ocean of economics. It’s so engaging that studying becomes a real pleasure! I highly recommend it to everyone—both university and high school students—because it provides everything needed to start learning economics at any level. The best course I have seen!

Yuet Leung

China

I had never studied economics before—my mind was like a blank sheet of paper. I took Brad’s Microeconomics course, and to my surprise, it was incredibly interesting. The explanations were clear, easy to understand, and made learning enjoyable. Now, I’m taking his Macroeconomics course, and I love it just as much. I’ll definitely be taking more courses from Brad in the future!

Exactly what I wanted out of the course—not too complicated, but a thorough overview of macroeconomics! Brad makes the content very engaging and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to understand how the economy works on a national level and wants a solid introduction to macroeconomics.

Beri Ndifon

Nigeria

Macroeconomics was never explained this elegantly and incisively during my studies in liberal arts and business school at prestigious institutions. I’ve kept analog and digital notes for 13 years to refresh my comprehension but couldn’t quite pinpoint the subset on monetary and fiscal policy. This course is a gem.

David Sherman

United States of America

Thank you, Brad! This is the second course I’ve taken from you, and you have an exceptional way of making complex concepts feel simple and accessible. I’d recommend this course to anyone looking for a complete understanding of macroeconomics—it’s hard to find this level of clarity. Worth every cent!
