Just thought I'd mention this course here, in case anybody else is interested. It's just started and I've only done four lessons and taken part in the discussions, but I'm finding it interesting.

Looks interesting - I may start to understand economics (and politics) confused! Have signed up.

Thank you for this. I am interested and I haven't done a Future Learn course for some time. I haven't really got time now either, but I will have a go.:-)

It's not really about hard economics - more about how economics and politics interact and we end up with the economic policies we do.

That makes it even more interesting, dd grin
