NEW COURSE: Lessons For The Young Economist

Jonathan Newman, Mises Academy

One of the Mises Institute’s best-selling and most-downloaded books is Dr. Robert Murphy’s Lessons for the Young Economist. Murphy builds economics from the ground up with a clear and engaging style, presenting the ideas in a way young students can understand without diluting or “dumbing down” the material.

We’ve recently released the first two video lectures in our new online course based on Dr. Murphy’s book. It is available on our recently refurbished Mises Academy platform. Anyone can enroll for free to participate in this self-paced class.

The Lessons for the Young Economist course includes lecture videos by Dr. Jonathan Newman, presentation slides, and a short quiz for each chapter of the book. There are also interviews with Austrian scholars on topics like the economics of prohibition, entrepreneurship, and money. There’s even an interview with Dr. Murphy himself!

The goal of this course is to provide everything teachers and homeschooling families need to introduce their students to the fascinating world of economics and to give them a solid foundation of basic economic principles. Be sure to get a copy of the textbook from the Mises Bookstore or the free eBook available here. For teachers, there’s also a free teacher’s manual.

We hope you share this course with your family and friends. Help arm the millions of students who have opted out of the public education system with these tools for true learning and future success.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
