I teach IB Economics in Santiago, Chile. As a former Peace Corps Volunteer, a graduate of Duke University, and someone who has been fortunate enough to have traveled to over 45 countries around world, you will see how those experiences shape my teachings of IB Economics. Economics is human behavior! It is as a result of that behavior that economists have something to put into data charts and diagrams to study. Don't ever forget that!
WRONG! The AntiFederalists ensured the Bill of Rights was attached to the Constitution.. with the 10th Amendment. It wasn’t “concluded”.. in only just began! It is our responsibility to stand up against usurpation of power by the Federalists.. read the Declaration of Independence for crying out loud.. then read the 10th Amendment. We are LONG overdue for an AntiFederalist uprising to roll power and money back the States, or.. the people.. WHERE IT BELONGS.
We need to stand up and remind the Federalists of our 10th Amendment right.. if they can roll RvW back to the States.. education, healthcare, social security, food/housing.. on and on and on.. BACK TO THE STATES, where they belong. 10th Amendment.. that easy.
You sir are the reason why I passed my economics course this year! I have a terrible teacher, and thought I was absolutely doomed to get a grade I wouldn’t be proud of, until I discovered this channel. My degree of my gratitude can not be expressed through just words, but I’ll give it a shot anyway. Thanks for saving my butt Brad! Love from France ❤
I never comment on RU-vid videos, but I truly have to thank you for being the reason I got a 7 in Economics HL in 2019! I watched all of your videos right until the last day before my exams, and you were what really made me understand the curriculum. And I still remember it to this day! So, thank you so much! It's amazing to see that you're still helping others as well! You are a great teacher! Greetings from Norway and from a UWC Mostar alumni - class of 2019!
tysm for using a hypothetical situation, it makes conceptualising and thinking about what quantities are being demanded and supplied at specific prices so much easier! :)
Hey Mr Cartwright! Just want to say that your teaching style is one of the most wholesome and well structured I have ever come across within the realm of economics. I stumbled across your developmental Economics course on Udemy (I had some free time during work) and I could not turn my eyes off the screen! I graduated with an econ undergrad degree recently (May 2023) and I'm hoping to start a Econ masters program very soon! The way you highlight the aspect of humanity and how it should be intertwined with economic analysis was something that really stuck with me. As an african american student i know far too well how people can be so quick to judge and label people and areas. There is so much that goes into what makes a country "developing" and ignoring the historical reasoning behind the current state of an economy is one of the most ignorant things we as a people can do. You're a great lecturer sir, and I hope you see this! You inspire me as a young hopeful economist! Cheers!
@jabari2k934, that is one of the kindest pieces of feedback I have received in my 25-year career of teaching. Thank you very much for taking the time to share this with me. Good luck in all that you do and please never hesitate to reach out directly. My email is brad@bradcartwright.com. Sending tons of gratitude from Santiago, Chile. Brad
Hm, except humans don't have infinite needs and wants, tho. Not most of them. Let's take food - even if the standard would be set at people eating the maximum amount of food of their highest preference before it would kill them, that is a finite amount of resources and work. And most people feel way less than that would be enough. Is enough, as in reality, almost everyone is fine with less than that. There may be a minority of humans with a particular psychological pathology who are never subjectively satisfied with anything and who are envious of everyone, in which case their real objective need is some sort of therapy, which would come at finite cost using finite resources. Using a pathology as a premise to our whole system of thought about economics explains why all of the solutions that have been implemented so far are arguably pathological.
