Economics is one of my favorite subjects to teach to high school students so I was excited when I saw that Crash Course is publishing a new series of videos about economics. The new course is not hosted by Hank or John Green. The new course is hosting by Adriene Hill from Marketplace and high school teacher Jacob Clifford. Their pacing is a bit more relaxed that the Green brothers’ style which could be a good thing for many students.

The first video in the series provides an introduction to what the study of economics is and isn’t. Opportunity cost is the first big concept covered in the video. The first video is embedded below.

The second video and the rest of the playlist is embedded below.
