What is Economics for Everyone (E4E)?
Economics for Everyone provides completely free economics material ranging from videos that bring the big economic ideas to life, without the math, to brief videos and supplemental materials teaching the math behind the economics.
Who is E4E for?
E4E is for everyone! E4E material is flexible and can be adapted to learners at different levels. In our microeconomics curriculum, the Core Videos are designed to elucidate the big economic concepts without the math, perfect for students new to economics or students seeking to improve their economic thinking. The Supplemental Videos are concise presentations of the technical material behind the Core Videos. The In Short Videos are designed to quickly summarize concepts from the Core Videos in a fun and exciting way. All of the material is meant for both educators and independent learners.
Is the microeconomics course offered for credit?
No, this course is not offered for credit.
I am a teacher. Can I use E4E videos in my classroom?
Absolutely! We believe our resources can stand on their own or supplement your teaching materials. Please contact us: we’d love to hear from and partner with you if you plan to use our videos and resources in your classroom. We are also developing additional educator resources to help bring E4E into the classroom.
Will you be creating E4E macroeconomic resources?
Plans are underway to develop E4E macroeconomic resources, based upon a new UChicago Economics for Everyone macroeconomics undergraduate course. Stay tuned for more information later in 2025.
How do I access lessons?
