Economics Explained is an online lecture series that I started as a way to provide my students with an opportunity to learn economics in their spare time (between classes, while waiting for the bus, etc.) The videos give a brief overview various concepts in economics. Feel free to use them as complements to your own lectures!
The videos can all be found here.
