Свои повседневные экономические решения – что купить, куда пойти работать, как сберечь накопленный доход – человек обычно принимает без сложных расчетов, руководствуясь здравым смыслом. Не всегда, к сожалению, здравый смысл оказывается достаточно просвещенным и тренированным.
Экономические понятия, которыми мы мыслим, складывались в разные эпохи и несут, порой, совсем не тот смысл, который мы по инерции в них вкладываем. Мы копим деньги, порой, так, как это делали наши предки столетия тому назад, хотя деньги тогда были из драгоценных металлов, а ныне они бумажные. Мы легко ссылаемся на рост ВВП, плохо осознавая, что за этим стоит. Мы верим обещаниям политиков сделать нашу жизнь богатой и счастливой, не различая, каким обещаниям можно верить, а какими нас откровенно обманывают.
История экономической мысли – это квинтэссенция опыта решения сложных проблем хозяйственной жизни; опыта, который складывался в борьбе идей, отражавших конфликтующие социальные интересы. В нашем курсе обобщаются уроки выдающихся экономических мыслителей: Адама Смита и Карла Маркса, Леона Вальраса и Йозефа Шумпетера, Торстейна Веблена и Николая Кондратьева, Джона М. Кейнса и др. Мы будем разбираться в том, как, отвечая на вызовы своего времени, они создавали корпус современного экономического знания с его возможностями и ограничениями. Тем самым мы рассчитываем сделать ваш экономический здравый смысл более тренированным и просвещенным.

After the Arab Spring – Democratic Aspirations and State Failure (Coursera)

Learn why the hope and excitement of the Arab Spring is gone, why so many Arab states are falling apart, why the youth are so frustrated, why there are so many refugees, and what can be done about it. The so-called Arab Spring appeared to end decades of exceptionalism and bring the Arab world back into the mainstream of global developments. The rebellions promised the return of politics and the reassertion of popular sovereignty against their corrupt and geriatric leaders. Much hope and flowery language greeted the young men and women who deposed their leaders and tried to build new, better societies.

Model Thinking (Coursera)

We live in a complex world with diverse people, firms, and governments whose behaviors aggregate to produce novel, unexpected phenomena. We see political uprisings, market crashes, and a never ending array of social trends. How do we make sense of it? Models. Evidence shows that people who think with models consistently outperform those who don't. And, moreover people who think with lots of models outperform people who use only one. Why do models make us better thinkers? Models help us to better organize information - to make sense of that fire hose or hairball of data (choose your metaphor) available on the Internet.
