I really appreciated the course. I'd like to thanks professor Shiller and all his assistants for what that did for students like me who want to keep practising and learning things not related to their academic career

This is very much a historical and just holistic view of financial markets, there is no insight on how trading works selling and buying stocks, etc. If you just want to learn about the market go-ahead if don't do it.

One of the best MOOCs on the internet. Course is taught by a Nobel Prize Winner and really feels like a true college class. A great intro for anyone attempting to teach themselves about the business world in general.
