Economics of public wealth in the United States
What public wealth do we the people of the United States own? Our federal and state governments by our consent administer our public wealth, But what is actually on our public balance sheet? And is it managed in our best interest? Who decides how much we get paid for things such as mineral resources? What about selling off assets to pay off the national debt?

How can real wages stagnate w/ technology improvements?
I would really like to see video on the stagnation of real wages over the last 40 yrs. I hear about this all the time and since I could not buy an internet connection, cell phone, car w/ airbags, a pill that replaces surgery, a cordless drill, sushi in my small town grocery etc, etc in 1976 the real wage growth for those products is infinite. I believe the things I could buy (gasoline, bread, machined parts) are also better, cheaper and/or more varied today.

Guaranteed Annual Income
The concept of a GAI has been around for some time and was tested in Dauphin, Manitoba in the mid 1970s. Now it is being tried again in Ontario and Prince Edward Island and one party in British Columbia is musing about it as part of its platform for next year's provincial election. Friedman and Hayek both thought it was a good idea but implementation is where the challenges lie.

Do banks really create money (credit) out of "thin air"?
There's much debate and confusion surrounding the idea that private banks can create money (credit) out of "thin air".
"...contrary to what people might think, a bank doesn't make loans, by taking the deposits of a client and then lending those deposits out. Instead, the bank creates money out of thin air."
http://www.businessinsider.com/where-does-money-come-from-2014-4While Krugman says:
"I often see the view that banks can create credit out of thin air...This is all wrong...Bank loan officers can’t just issue checks out of thin air."
http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/30/banking-mysticism-continued/I've spent several hours trying to find a definitive answer to this question but have yet…

Marxism economics course and Keynesian economics course
I greatly enjoyed classical economists course. Similar courses on Marxism, Keynesian and other schools would be great compliments. (I attended Soviet Economic History but it did not comprehensively describe Marxism and its influence in other parts of the world).

Explore/discuss two-sided markets.
Two-sided markets created by information platforms increasingly are a feature of how Internet services are monetized -- e.g. similar to how subscribers and advertisers are two sides of a "newspaper platform." Users and advertisers are two sides of the Google platform (albeit one side doesn't subscribe), similar to how viewers and advertisers were two sides of a TV station's business model. How do you use demand/supply curves to analyze and understand two-sided markets? What are the implications for price discrimination? What are the implications for monopoly? What are the implications for dynamic competition if an industry sector is prohibited from…

Quantitative Analysis Course
The existing courses are great. The next challenge is perhaps the greatest. I believe that an understanding of economics requires some mathematical analysis, a topic that creates some trepidation in many learners. A course on quantitative analysis that does not require a PhD in mathematics would be a boon.
