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 fun and memorable ways. All of the public 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 resources in my classroom?
Absolutely! We believe our resources can stand on their own or supplement your teaching materials. We have developed educator-only materials to help integrate our resources into the classroom, including access to embeddable links to integrate videos into your LMS and lesson plans that combine the videos with hands-on classroom activities. Be sure to register as a teacher to access these materials and visit our educator hub on the website. You can also find our lesson plans on the micro syllabus page along with each unit.
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?
To access our E4E videos and to best serve our audience, we ask that you create a free account. The rest of the materials are open to all on our website.
