MOTIVATION
I make courses on Udemy primarily because I enjoy the process of causing learning. Many of my courses are to improve lives. One of the Economics courses is to raise money for charity. (100% of revenue goes to the charity)
IT'S THIS ONE!
Fundamentally this course is about helping you.
About this course - it's about DOGonomics - (It was originally called Dogonomics but this put students off!)
Dogonomics!
What?
Dogonomics is the use of the economy for the betterment of dogs.
Just by enrolling on this course you will be helping dogs as ALL FEES from the Instructor and Videographer are waived and given to Dogs4Rescue, a UK charity for dogs.
Just by looking at the PREVIEW helps raise awareness!
So, unique among ALL Udemy courses, your enrolment is an example of market forces (supply, demand) being used to help dogs.
This course covers many many topics in Economics:
Demand
Supply
Elasticity
Competition
Game theory
Small firms
Micro-economic policy
Macro-economic policy
Brexit
Interest rates
Health Economics
Buddhist Economics
Despite appearances, this is a very serious course - with some humour thrown in! By enrolling on this course and working through the many lectures you will learn and learn, think - and perhaps smile a bit.
Plus you will be providing direct help to saving dogs and improving their lives.
You will learn economics from dogs - and by doing so, you will be helping them.
This is a course that you will certainly remember!
