Just under that button, it says: “Redeem a Coupon”
Click on that. Then “Enter Your Redemption Code”, which is: Blog

After that, you should be able to watch the Course. Let me know if there’s a problem.
Just to say I am eagerly awaiting the new course.
It pains me to read the papers and watch the news where commentators appear to completely ignore or not understand the role of debt/credit in our economies today.
Bring it on Richard.
Have done the course and found it excellent.
I have not signed up to “Capitalism in Crisis” course as it appears to cover the same ground as your book “The New Depression” which I have read. Would this be correct?
However I would be interested on your “How The Economy Really Works” course is there any update on this?
The new course, How The Economy Really Works, is almost ready. It should be available on Udemy.com within a week or so. Thanks!
