Economics U$A is a telecourse series covering the subjects of microeconomics and macroeconomics. The series was produced by the Educational Film Center in Annandale, Virginia, with funding from the Annenberg-CPB Project and broadcast on PBS and educational stations.

In Free Market Economics, Dr. David Henderson guides us through ten foundational pillars of economic wisdom and the major schools of thought—Austrian, Chicago, UCLA, and Public Choice. Along the way, we explore how markets coordinate through decentralized knowledge, property rights, and voluntary exchange, and why central planning so often falls short. Drawing on vivid historical cases—from the Soviet economic collapse to West Germany’s postwar miracle—the course brings core ideas like subjective value, spontaneous order, and entrepreneurial discovery to life. Ultimately, it shows how economic freedom and open inquiry fuel innovation and prosperity, while government intervention frequently produces unintended consequences and inefficiencies.

Over twenty years, the ultra-rich have multiplied their wealth sixfold and cut their taxes to the point of being taxed less than the poorest. The situation is the same across the whole planet. How have states favoured the richest in order to keep them at home? How have they come to be so widely backed by an ideology that extols the merits of “trickle-down” economics? Why are the ultra-rich fighting at all costs against bills like the Zucman Tax, which would make it possible to tax their wealth and, according to its advocates, restore tax fairness on an international scale? And how, in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe, is a new generation of millionaires taking the opposite stance from their elders and peers and trying to put an end to this inequality?
