Abstract aggregate statistical data pales in comparison when examining microfoundations and household decision-making processes. This video tries to objectively and critically poke a hole in the claim that all is well back in the USSR 2.0. In fact, a counterclaim that the Russian economy is declining seems more plausible. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp9R4eoN9ww
In this video, I explain what happens when the government imposes a price ceiling on a cup of coffee. I show you how to calculate the consumer and producer surplus for a price ceiling, and I use graphs to show the deadweight loss caused by a price ceiling and the shortage that results. The converse would be applied to a price floor. This video is helpful if you are taking microeconomics or macroeconomics or if you want to better understand the effect of price controls on society.

This videos explains reasons why the supply curve shifts. It may seem similar to demand curve shifts, however, conceptually different ideas. An important point is not to confuse supply curve shifters with demand curve shifters.
Also be able to distinguish between a movement along the curve (relates to price) and a shift left or right.
These are the key points your teacher will ask about.
However, after you memorizes these and can use them in an example, try shifting the demand and supply curves simultaneously. This is ultimately at a college level you will need to know how to do. Shift supply and demand based on an example. The teacher might give you criteria in an example and it will be your task to shift the demand and supply curve. I hope you like my videos.

The US Federal Reserve uses models to describe, predict, and steer the US economy through monetary policies. There is only one issue. Their models are wrong. Their models are based on aggregate time-series data and less accurate than weather forecasts.
For example, Fed/ECB targets PCE headline inflation at 2%. This is one measure they use in the models to macro engineer the economy and ultimately your economic life to some extent. Yet here is an example of an academic article that shows deflation is a symptom of a healthy economy. This contradicts the Fed Mandate of a 2% inflation target and the Dual Mandate.

What was it like to live under Communism? Economically life might have been challenging but in the countryside at the same time sweet.
This is an objective account of what it was like to live under Communism. Socialism and Marxism are not Communism. Communism was a surreal experience that has echoed through the generations shaping our world today.
Specifically, this is about the experience in Poland, in a village, and how Moscow or Russia imposed this system rather than a choice. The system was inefficient and poor and wreaked havoc on the environment. Yet the human spirit prevailed, and individuals could find beauty, hope, and innocence in daily life during Communism.

The reason that Marxism and Karl Marx were wrong is still debated because Marx was an idealist who promoted a message of liberation. However, something is just not right about his economic thinking.
Specifically:
Religion is a powerful force for good in the world, and Marx's atheism is a significant obstacle to social justice and personal liberation. We as humans want fulfillment in all our dimensions, just not economics.

When considering if the idea of Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum or Ripple will have a future, you have to put it in the context of the evolution of money. In a historical context, considering the span of human economics, decentralized money is the rule, while centralized currency is the anomaly.
Money is a medium of exchange agreed upon, rather than something ordained by a central bank. The implications of decentralized currency, like today's cryptocurrency movement is something that will be hard to stamp out and will revolutionize economics.

What is money? Money is a commodity like every commodity whose value is determined by supply and demand.
Its primary function is a medium of exchange (also a unit of account, store of value and a standard of deferred payment.
Qualities of money can be acceptable by most people, standard quality, durable,valuable and dividable).
What society agrees as to what is money has evolved and continues to evolve (barter, commodity money, fiat money, M1, M2, M3 Bitcoin etc). This is why money is organic rather than something simply declared as legal tender.
All free markets are organic in the sense individuals come together with their double coincidence of wants to exchange. The market for money is no different.
The control of the supply money by a country's central bank is a debatable topic based on economic theory.
However,understand that is a cipher. In its ideal form it should have no affect on the real economy other than facilitating trade.
Like a train that leaves on time, your communicate does not affect the real workings of your business day.
This is why the real goal of monetary policy is to create stability and confidence in the monetary system so people can focus on the real workings their business.
