Best Video Lectures for Intro to Economics Course?

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I am currently watching the TTC (The Teaching Company) video lectures called Understanding the Human Body. It consists of 32 high quality video lectures (filmed specifically for this production, not merely recordings of a regular class lecture), each about 45 minutes long. It is a great overview of human anatomy and physiology. </p>

<p>I was so impressed with the lectures, that I decided to get the TTC Economics (3rd edition) collection of video lectures, but was completely disappointed. The professor is extremely annoying, and the content feels very watered down, like he’s teaching kindergartners. And this is coming from someone who has never taken an economics or business course. </p>

<p>Anyway, I am wondering if any nerds out there know of any good economics video lectures that are available online. I have been spoiled by the TTC Human Body series, so I am hoping to find something of that caliber. Ideally, I would like to find something that goes in depth and covers about a typical semesters worth of lecture content. </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>same question</p>

3

<p>Dig around on itunes and possibly on the MIT website.</p>

4

<p>yeah, i tried MIT and other usual suspects. bump.</p>

<p>Econs courses of MIT only consist of notes :(. No lectures at all</p>

6

<p>yup :-(. one of the few departments at MIT that doesn’t have video or audio lectures.</p>

<p>not sure how complex you want the videos to be, but there’s a great Youtube guru under the username khanacademy who publishes instructional videos on all academic subjects, economics included. He graduated from MIT and I think has a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation</p>

<p>khanacademy course is a little bit simple, I think. But it is good</p>

<p>If you can’t find anything else, I think the Freakonomics movie is available on iTunes. :o</p>

<p>thanks all, i will look into your tips :-)</p>

<p>Search for Hernando DeSoto’s talk on the need for property rights. Its a great lecture coming from a very intelligent economist.</p>
