The Eurozone Crisis (MRUniversity)

Offered by Marginal Revolution University,
The Eurozone Crisis (MRUniversity)

What's the future of the European Union and the Euro? The Eurozone Crisis is one of the most important issues in the world today. In this free three week mini-course, we cover both the institutions that make up the European Union and the underlying economics that are behind the crisis.

We cover what is considered "consensus" knowledge by economists while also adding our own speculations in the mix.
We will be updating this course as the situation changes in Europe. Click the "follow this course" button to stay up-to-date.
This class does not require any particular knowledge of mathematics. If you pass the final exam, you will earn our "Eurozone Crisis" certificate on your profile.

Economics & Finance

International finance covers some of the most complex but also important topics in economics. How are exchange rates determined? When if ever are ongoing trade deficits harmful? Are fixed or floating exchange rates better? What are the roots of the euro crisis and what resolution can we expect? Does China manipulate its exchange rate and if so how does that matter? We cover all of these topics and more, with an eye toward what a person really might want to know. There is no use of mathematics in this course beyond the very basic.

Le sens de l'action publique (FUN)

Social Sciences

L’action publique est au cœur d’une crise du sens. Critique de la dépense publique, perte de confiance des citoyens envers les institutions politiques, situation économique difficile, manque de prospective sur l’avenir de la société : les agents publics expriment un malaise et des interrogations sur le sens de leurs missions ; les citoyens s’interrogent aussi sur leur futur et celui des services publics entre réduction des coûts et fermeture des établissements de proximité. Nous vous proposons de réfléchir ensemble à ce qui caractérise cette crise et ses origines et d’identifier ce qui peut permettre de réaffirmer un sens pour l’action publique, pour mieux préparer l’avenir.
