I thank you very much for the kind words. I am posting many new lectures, so I hope you enjoy them too.

Just be careful -- this is not an ordinary course in macro -- and I am covering very different topics with a very unconventional approach. You are guaranteed to learn some really good macroeconomics, but your econ professor will not appreciate it.

Thank you so very much for posting these lecture. I don't have enough time do a macro course in my uni in Australia but feel it would be essentially complimentary to m Busmanagament courses. So this helps, but before I start listening to your next 10 lectures I have some questions. What do you mean when you mentioned that you teach somethings very different/unconventional witch may not be appreciated by other Econ teachers? Also is all this still applicable in the current state of the world? or

Thank you for teaching this! Top on my recommended list. The last time I took Macro and Micro, it was just two years after the fall of the Berlin wall.  Great to hear the Slavic voice explaining Austrian Economic principles. His videos on the Business Cycle have helped me navigate the business cycle in the United States, and personal applications in the Commercial Real Estate Business has been effective... Hey Teacher? Which lecture do you talk about Adam Smith?
