Principles of Macroeconomics: Lecture 2 - Introduction to Economics

[@cryptonrsc]

Watching it in 2020. And, strangely enough economics just stays contemporary forever. Love this subject.

[@anggaraadhari1933]

Love this guy. He can explain clearly

[@cynthiashannon1489]

Since I am an older student, I understood many of the comments you made and why they are funny but highly true! I love the one about the Social Security.

[@imagine_8681]

I like how he isn’t fast and rushing, he actually thinks before he talks and the speed is perfect for me

[@gezahegnabate5824]

I really satisfied by the lecture method...

[@Majagarbulinska]

I love this professor! I love the jokes hahaha.

[@mohdluqman1336]

And I love you

[@dankwarmouse6248]

This guy's hilarious, I hope the mic is just not picking up the laughs because he should be getting them

[@GiorgiTsutskiridze1990]

I would love to attend his lectures and argue with this professor (as I have done with many of them and then they got either confused or furious). There are several things that are inconsistent or at least question for me (his likes this technique of using at least:)) 1. He defines economics as a social science that studies how people use their time and material resources to improve their well-being and then he says that economics does not study all types of social behavior. Well, man, every behavior of any individual that I can conceive of is the use of either material resource or time (which one can easily convert into a material resource, so it is also material resource kind of) aimed towards making himself happy. No one, at least rationally does things to suffer themselves. If this is true then according to his definition of economics any type of behavior is the object of study for economics and economists. Voting that he gives as a counterexample of not being economic behavior is actually spending time (commuting and circling the person, watching candidates on TV, reading their program to make informed decision etc.) and material resources (at least paying for bus or gas to go to the voting center, or to pay for mail if you are voting using mail) to improve his/her well-being (well, we vote for better government, more justice, better economic development, better police etc.). The same applies for worshiping. You spend time and resources for being a good worshiper following all the rule god recommends and you do that in order to get a place in heaven which you think will improve the most important type of well-being (eternal well-being). I will elaborate more and more as I see more points to question in this class. (I do this because I liked this course a lot and I decided to make it perfect. Actually I like the guy and his style very much as well. )

[@user-xj1vb8ho9k]

I like your points!

[@ordinaryyute1868]

[@Ros_katt]

I'd like to know how I can take contact with this professor.

[@Douglas17D]

Persian Blue Crystal Edible Salt, 90 grams for $6.25, with a grinder. (About $70.00 per kilogram of salt!)

[@jc.1191]

Some of these are easy to digest at 1.25 speed. I kinda wanna plow through the material.

[@EathenSmith]

Makes it way easier to digest ^^^

[@tomyu18]

lol, blue salt. Genius.

[@Bsquare_ed]

[@goahramkhan6560]

Bakhtawar R watch lectures 1

[@evanescence9041]

I wonder if these students can see him clearly

[@maimon1]

Can't we read and understand what was said in a fraction of the time...? If we do, what is the use of this lecture?

[@anthonys5931]

I guess to get a different perspective

[@Francische33]

I went to MSU class is always dormant compared to say UC Berkely

[@onlinemall7288]

So?

[@TipoQueTocaelPiano]

01:20 How can an economics proffessor define economy in terms of money? That's like saying that a political system is "going to vote".

[@what.happend.to.my.handle]

Can someone plz tell me his name. Thanks!

Jefferson Steelflex Does that mean the material is outdated?

[@stanko4333]

watching in 2024

[@serialglobetrotter]

what if i eat fruits in my lunch from the plant that i planted for free ?? :-D !! my lunch is free ... :-D

[@lungiledlamini7842]

+ID Jeet Technically, you bought the seeds to plant, so that doesn't really make your lunch free. :)

[@emelie5264]

Plus the time spent planting and nurturing the fruit. Now your lunch cost you several hours of your life ;-)

[@JFlukejr]

Emelie Berntsson even if someone else grew it, the opportunity cost in not eating something else or doing something else while eating has to be accounted for

[@sameworld1973]

Dont forget you had to get water for the plant and you paid for that water

[@konstantyniedorobek5152]

Holy shit! Students in US attend lectures wearing a cap? This is so disrespectful!

[@stonedaly]

it would be disrespectful if they did it in your country but its not disrespectful here

[@ThePianistWithNoHand]

Stone Daly It has always been disrespectful in polite society to wear a hat indoors unless it's for a specific function. Americans are just rude in general.

[@AngelBeatz92]

Jeester I agree, they just seem to lack the basic rules of modesty and think that their society is "open-minded", whereas all that shows is lack of politeness

[@rogersmith1021]

AngelBeatz92 I think it's generally americans are too lazy to learn the rules of etiquette. I say that having been born here and lived in more than a few states.When i mention to others that it's rude to wear a hat indoors, they just look at me like I'm stupid.

[@parteibonza]

Disrespect? How old are you, Hugh Jones?

[@susanrathbun6439]

All this chalk board writing eats up too much time... can we get more condensed lectures. I want more information instead of reading what is already in my book on a chalk board! Lecture needs to give us explanation on higher concepts
