FAQ

  • It’s no problem. Reach out by clicking the Contact Us button at the bottom of the page. We will be sure to send you the link.

  • Basically, the idea is to listen to a lecture, and then see the other reading and video materials that go with that lecture/lesson. For some lessons, there is a quiz or essay prompt that goes with it as well. All of that (including hot links to the reading and the videos) is included in the syllabus.

  • The course material was created for upper-classmen I taught at a private high school in Southern California. I also believe it will be appropriate introductory material for any adult wanting to learn (or re-learn) economics, and I feel confident that it is suitable for high school age students (juniors/seniors). Like any distribution curve, there will be some younger than that upper-classmen target who will be totally comfortable with it and some older than that target who may struggle with it. Each individual’s background, pace, and readiness will vary. But that is the context in its design and intent.

  • There is a complete Master Outline of notes for all thirty lectures that can be made available upon completion of the course. The goal is for those taking the class to take their notes as they go, but we can send you the outline upon request when you are done with the course if it would be of benefit to you.

  • For purposes of David’s schedule we are not able to offer this for free like we did the whole course, but if anyone wants to book a 30-minute Zoom for David to talk to your group of students (or just you), do a Q&A, etc., that is available subject to scheduling, but does involve a cost. That cost, though, is not a payment to David or his business – rather, it would be in the form of a donation to either the Acton Institute, National Review Institute, or Pacifica Christian High School.

  • It is created from a consciously Judeo-Christian perspective, with strong intent of extracting economic truth and application from a specifically Judeo-Christian philosophy and understanding of the human person. The lectures critique both positively and negatively each economic school of thought from Plato to present day, but the economic worldview presented in the lecture has heavy sympathies for the Austrian school, and a deep appreciation of classical economics from Smith to the supply-side movement.
