Course detail: Figuring Out Today's Fickle Financial Landscape

Financial news - the stock market, interest rates, tariffs, cryptocurrency - often dominates the national news cycle. Want to know more about how these systems and policies affect our daily lives but feel you need a doctorate in economics to do so? We have you covered! Each week we'll dive into a few financial topics, first through lectures, then turn the floor over for interactive discussions. Bring your questions!
