A Weekly Bonus
As a student in this course, you’ll also receive a subscription to my weekly newsletter, Just One Thing. Each Monday, I’ll send you a quick, two-minute breakdown of one key economic concept. It’s a simple, stress-free way to expand your understanding of the world, one idea at a time.
I’ve been fortunate to explore the world as a Peace Corps Volunteer, a graduate of Duke University, and someone who has traveled to over 55 countries. These experiences shape my approach to teaching Economics as a study of people—how we act, decide, and influence the world around us.
I can’t wait to join you on this journey into Development Economics. Let’s dive in and explore how economics is shaping our world!
