“Our first course at MRU, Development Economics, deals with perhaps the most important question of all ‘why are some countries rich while other countries are poor’. For billions of people this is a life and death question. We think economics has something of importance to say about this question and with MRU we hope to reach a global audience.” - Dr. Alex Tabarrok, co-author of Marginal Revolution and professor of Economics who is co-launching Marginal Revolution University with the first course starting Oct. 1.
