Economic Policy

What happens when a government pulls a lever? One real case per lesson, from free buses to the minimum wage, studied with the tools of the first two courses and the same five questions. We explain what each policy does; which one is right is for you to decide. Eleven lessons, ending with a case you solve yourself.
