Introduction to Political Economy

[@richardnz100]

Thanks very much for making these lectures available to the public. They're excellent and a fantastic resource for people wanting to learn about the major economic thinkers. I found your lecture series while looking for a good resource on John Maynard-Keynes's ideas. That lecture was so good, I decided to watch your whole lecture series. Thank you again!
