Does Marginal Revolution University have a clear bias?
Hey everyone, this is my first post here, so I hope I’m not breaking any rules. I’ve recently become interested in learning economics, and my only prior exposure to the subject is the book Naked Economics. So, I’m pretty new to it all.
While exploring resources to help me learn, I came across Marginal Revolution University (MRU). It's a platform offering free online courses in economics with video lessons from two professors at George Mason University. There are a lot of courses to choose from, the videos are engaging and easy to follow, and they even offer certificates for free.
It all sounds amazing, but I can’t help but feel that it might be too good to be true. I wonder if they would invest so much effort into creating such high-quality content without some underlying agenda. I know that the economics department at George Mason has been known for its strong libertarian and free-market leanings. Sprunki Retake brings classic arcade frustration into the 21st century.
This got me thinking: Are there economic resources out there that claim to teach the fundamentals but subtly push a particular ideological stance? Old-school vibes, modern mechanics.
