Intro to Economics: Crash Course Econ #1

Fast forward. Finally stopped feeling sorry for myself, got over my depression, got saved, fast forward I’m 2 classes away from finishing my high school diploma and going to college next. Economics is one of the 2 classes left. I can’t believe I never took this class. It’s literally changing my life for the better.♥️ God Bless.

    ECONOMICS is the study of people and choices. OPPORTUNITY COST is whatever you give up to do something. SCARCITY is the tension between infinite wants and finite resources. INCENTIVES is a set of external (rather than intrinsic) motivators that explain people's choices. MACROECONOMICS is the study of production, employment, prices, and policies on a nationwide scale. MICROECONOMICS is the study of how consumers, workers, and firms interact to generate outcomes in specific markets.

    Jacob and Adrienne, please ignore all these hateful comments. I literally did not feel one negative feeling towards anything in this video. I seriously can not understand what is so bad about this video. It covered everything my Economics teacher did, but it didn't take 45 minutes, so I don't get why people are complaining that you aren't teaching anything yet. I needed this broad context, because I finally know why I need to study Economics: mainly to understand that life is satisfying my unlimited wants with limited resources, how to consider the costs of everything, and understanding how we need governments to keep incentives straight and also provide additional ones.

    the content of the video is perfectly clear. nothing is confusing. it is taught at a good pace, considering that these videos are meant for people who are taking economics for the first time. half of the people watching this have taken it before, so that's why it may seem slow. visual aids are a nice supplement to the lecturing, and all the information is correct. so why all the dislikes? oh, yeah. the hosts are "weird" and "annoying". people are criticizing them solely because they are different. that's like saying it's acceptable for the nazi's to criticize the jews and the crippled because they are not like them. please don't pass off the intolerance of eccentricity as "criticism"

    Please say the rest of this series isn't going to be this patronising. I love economics, I love crash course and I really do try to give things a good chance before I switch off but I just couldn't make it past the section on opportunity cost without thinking that maybe this wasn't a great use of my time. I have no desire to be mean or unkind and I have no doubt the presenters, script writers, editors, director and everyone else are brilliant people who work increadibly hard but this is just a huge shift in tone from the other crash course series. One of the assets of crash course is that it could be light hearted with great content without the usual talking down to the audience that you see in school/educational videos. Please don't lose that. And thank you for all your hard work.

"The Nordic model (or Nordic capitalism) or Nordic social democracy) refers to the economic and social models of the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands and Sweden), which involves the combination of a free market economy with a welfare state." - Wikipedia. free market = capitalist, with socialist welfare.

    Jeroen Bollen Do you really have a better option, which actually works in reality? Capitalism on itself works just fine and natural, it is when strong elements of corporatism is mixed in to it or someone (like the state) goes in and bail out a loosing part (like a bank) things fuck up. Capitalism is at least the most innovative economic system when it works properly. Central planed socialism on other hand have time and time again failed to satisfy peoples real needs in a real world context. Mixed economic systems only work well when you let it play by capitalisms rules, where the state keeps its hands off, and are not trying to actively steer markets into crating something for which there are no real demand, or force it to "beat a dead horse". Regulations works best when they are general, absolute, but at the same time somewhat loose. There are on the other hand plenty of examples of "socialist" ideas benefiting greatly from the capitalist supply and demand system, creating innovative solutions as they go along often spontaneously, "sharing economy" for instance, is one such example... :)

    On Rat Tails: during the this year's drought in the Philippines, rice farmers started to starve. Crops were dying, and so were the animals. (There was a mass shooting of farmers who rallied asking the government for aid.) Latern on in certain provinces, there was a bounty on rat tails. For every X number of rat tails submitted, they would be given Y kilograms of rice. The farmers submitted rat tails for rice, and then they roasted the rat bodies for meat. Just an example of how a failed incentive policy elsewhere worked under a different context.

    It sound interesting, but you have to remember that real economics quantifies everything. Meaning that everything said in the video has a mathematical equation and it can be sketched in a graph. That is economics. If you want to study economics or learn it in school you have to know that its just maths that can be applied in the real world. So you should like or at least be able to tolerate mathematics.

    This is a small complaint but can you please not add "and women" into every quote that uses the word man from now on. Usually when someone uses the word man in the context of the quotes you showed it usually means is just another way of referring to the human race as a whole. It is almost never meant as a way to exclude women and I find that changing the quotes in this particular way to be both distraction from the quotes themselves and kind of pointless. I am not trying to start an argument here but this is just my opinion on this subject.

    1. What is economics? - Is the study of people and choices 2. What is opportunity cost? - Is whatever you give up to do something. 3. What are incentives? - Is a set of external (rather than intrinsic) motivators that explain people's choices. 4. What is Macro Economics? - Is the study of production, employment, prices, and policies on a nationwide scale. 5. What is Micro Economics? - is the study of how consumers, workers, and firms interact to generate outcomes in specific markets.

    Actually, in my school, there's not many economics classes (just 2, including mine). Both teachers do a great job at keeping it free, it doesn't feel like a regular subject. The teachers leave it free and open, and it's up to us to catch the tail through our own interest, and that, I think, makes it very effective for studying.

    I love videos like this. I think I learn more when I watch videos like these than what I would in school.

    I’m a HS junior and I want to major in econ. I’m giving myself an intro with these videos.

    Love these videos. So informative and NOT boring! You two are also hilarious. Thank you kindly. Also, we need Crash Course here in Canada. How do we make this happen?!
