This course presents a deep look into the philosophy of finance, as a societal tool, its place in our lives, and how it came to exist. This part is way too often overlooked in finance literacy despite being essential in seeing the big picture.

Best online course I've taken. Professor Schiller is great and communicates major concepts in finance in an engaging manner. The tests at the end of every lesson helped solidfy the information. My only complain is that it was only 7 weeks!

I immensely enjoyed this course on Financial Markets. I enjoyed the lessons and I'd like to say that Prof. Robert Shiller conveyed the learnings as a story-teller rather than a typical lecturer which kept my concentration with greater ease.
