  1. Please in a video analyze the efficacy of income redistribution

    Politicians (mostly left leaning) have for years harped on the dangers and social injustice of income inequality and are forever suggesting we "level the playing field" by compelling through taxation etc. the "rich" to "pay their fair share". Would you please analyze economically the benefits and drawbacks of such a strategy. Perhaps also discuss why the inequality occurs in the first place. Talent may be distributed on a bell curve but outcomes follow the Pareto curve. Why? Perhaps this is your opportunity for a future Nobel!

  2. Out of Order

    For those that put the podcasts on mobile devices, the order of each unit is lost. The fix is to put a number in the Description Title.

  4. Naming of Units

    There's two names associated with downloaded files. It is the "Description Title" rather than the File Name that cell phones use to order their listings.
    PLEASE
    put numbers on the "Description Title" (not the file name) so that we can hear them in the order Alex intended.

  6. for the webmaster:

    Are you aware that cell phones store files in alphabetical order? I believe Alex intended the files be in order given. That order is lots. Please please please put numbers on the left of the file name.

  8. Adding a built-in Subtitles in English directly within the video, so if we download the video we can read the subtitles directly.

    Adding a MBA Courses to the bunch of the MR University will be more than GREAT IDEA. Hence, folks can collect everything under one roof.

  11. Can you learn about effectiveness of price stabalization measure by the government to stabalize prices of agri commodities?

    Can you learn about effectiveness of price stabalization measure by the government to stabalize prices of agri commodities? In india onion prices have huge implication for rural economy and politics. Indian government is setting up price stabalization mechanism . They will buy onion when prices fall and release the stock when prices shoot up. What does the economic theory and international experience say about such measures? I am based in India . milind.murugkar@gmail.com Can MRU help us in understanding the issue better ? Milind Murugkar

  13. Release New Material on a Schedule

    You asked for feedback about the Principles of Economics: Microeconomics class.

    I know it's too late in the class for this to change, but in future classes it would be nice if there was some predetermined schedule for the release of new material. Long periods of time went by in the class with no new material and no idea when it would be released.

    A release schedule when the class starts would be very helpful.

    Thanks for the great material. So many of these topics and the way they apply to real-life situations are more complex than they appear on…

  15. I need a solid resource on 'the philosophy of science'

    Everyone knows this famous raking of so called sciences: https://xkcd.com/435/

    Good question, where does economics fit in? And what is science?

    How can I participate in so called scientific debate without knowing what science is, in the first place?

    I have a feeling that in economics in general you have much story telling and anecdotes, as compared to the amount of 'science' - whatever that word really means.

  16. Love this course! When will section on insurance and moral hazard be complete?

    Expand discussion of why health care is burdened with market failures (adverse selection, information asymmetry, moral hazard) and whether introducing high deductible insurance plans will encourage price transparency, thus bringing health costs back to earth.

    I would love if you could compile and post a list of the high production value videos (i.e. not the voice over power point style ones). Thanks!

  19. Is it possible to download the presentations used in the videos?

    Being the kind of learner who needs to read and highlight and make notes on lecture slides I would like to find out how possible it would be to get the slides so I can follow along on a printout and make notes as I watch the lecture videos
