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! :)

Sam Peel

Economics has always seemed like a dry topic to me, but 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’ll start to understand more about the news and politics, and that was absolutely true. Not long into the course, I had several ‘Aha’ moments when the penny finally dropped on terminology I had heard before. Highly recommend!

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.

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! :)

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!

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!

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

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!

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.
