Amazing course taught by the ever-fascinating Spencer Phillips and amazing content. I promise if you come from a normal economics background, you will never look at it the same way again! This course should be taught everywhere. Academically, this course is not too hard, as long as you do the readings (or at least skim), and engage with the professor. Their is a final research paper and presentation, 3 quizzes (last is basically the final exam) and a few other things! “I am the Lorax who speaks for the trees, which you seem to be chopping as fast as you please!”
