What you'll learn:
- The Economics responses by a variety of countries to the COVID-19 pandemic
- How the various countries' responses will be paid for
- The short term repurcussions
- The long term repurcussions
This course deals with two main themes:
a, the Economics response to the COVID-19 pandemic
b. How this response will be paid for
We look at responses from:
USA
India
UK
Brazil
Japan
The EU
China
South Korea
Australia
Canada
- and other countries.
There are two very significant features of this course:
1. It will be constantly updated through new lectures, workbooks, Educational Announcements and discussions
2. On my other main Economics course there are 3000+ discussions in the Q/A section. That is how this course will be up to date - input from students that enrol. With students from 160+ countries, the class is looked to to join discussions.
The pace is slow - suitable for beginners - but the topics are very very serious.

Another section has been added on 'Improving English'. So, even if you're not specialising in Economics because the events here are shared by all you can also add to your communication skills!
It is now April 2024 and the course can be further updated - based on submissions in the Q/A - so join in!
We also look at Covid-19, the Elderly and the Economy. Which is best - to be locked down, locked in and left isolated, bewildered and abandoned or mixing with everyone (many of whom are not wearing masks) and thus be exposed to risk?
