Professor Shiller is an excellent teacher, always attached to the real world and to how finance affects every single one's life. Although I've found the slides too summed up, the overall content of the course is very relevant. Excellent course.

Excellent course which combines theory of finance with practical experience from past till present (till around 2016). Attending this course can be of interest for finance professionals as well as private people, as the content matters to both.

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!
