by Dr. Anna Klis
Economics isn't just about money and markets—it's about how humans make decisions in a world of scarcity. Join Dr. Anna Klis and her students as they break down complex concepts through the lens of what actually matters to them: pop culture, everyday choices, and the weird ways we all behave. No dry lectures here! Just bite-sized episodes exploring authentic perspectives and solid insights on value, public goods, game theory, and other topics. Econ class just got a vibrant glow-up.
