What are the best Economics online courses?


I am a Software developer and would like to get a better understanding of Economics. Where do I begin? Any good online courses you can recommend?

There are a ton of resources - more than you probably can consume.

As someone that had similar thoughts, I'll ask you a question that i wish i clarified with myself: why do you want to learn economics / to what end?

^this is important because it will help you narrow down exactly which areas you need to learn and the best resources (i can help you with the latter :))

Some contrarian ways to understand economics:

- Naval’s How to Get Rich (without getting lucky): https://twitter.com/naval/status/1002103360646823936?lang=en

- Attempt for yourself to make $1 on the internet

You can register for free and login and download all PDF's [1]. It's a thorough economic course, but I didn't go through it yet.

This doesnt just cover economics, but it's a good place to start. You can look at a CFA Foundations certification. I think it's free now.
