Hi, I'm Brad, and if you are curious about the natural tensions between developed and developing nations? Or if you want to understand how international trade, foreign aid, and policy decisions shape our world? 

This Development Economics course is your guide to exploring these vital issues.

With over 40 engaging video lessons and downloadable notes, this course delves into topics like:

• Introduction to Development Economics

• How to Measure Economic Development

• The Domestic Factors of Economic Development – Discover the internal factors that drive progress.

• International Trade and Economic Development – Unpack the effects of trade strategies on developing nations.

• Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Development – Explore how foreign investment impacts emerging economies.

Development Economics is more than numbers and graphs—it’s the study of human behavior, the stories behind economic decisions, and the forces that shape our societies. It helps us grasp the complexities of global politics and the tensions between nations today.

This course is designed to inspire, challenge, and deepen your understanding of the world. And if my love for Economics is contagious, well, that’s intentional!

A Weekly Bonus

As a student in this course, you’ll also receive a subscription to my weekly newsletter, Just One Thing. Each Monday, I’ll send you a quick, two-minute breakdown of one key economic concept. It’s a simple, stress-free way to expand your understanding of the world, one idea at a time.

I’ve been fortunate to explore the world as a Peace Corps Volunteer, a graduate of Duke University, and someone who has traveled to over 55 countries. These experiences shape my approach to teaching Economics as a study of people—how we act, decide, and influence the world around us.

I can’t wait to join you on this journey into Development Economics. Let’s dive in and explore how economics is shaping our world!
