Instructor
TedMax
Course Overview
In this lesson, we discover why direct exchange limits human progress and ultimately breaks down, giving way to indirect exchange.
We highlight the properties of a good medium of exchange. In Module 2, we will use this as a framework to compare different types of money, because, as we will see, some are better than others at different things.
Then, in Economic Concepts, we take a look at time preference, entrepreneurship, and market size.
