Economics, taught properly. Five minutes at a time. Five courses. 105 units. 912 lessons. From your first supply curve to game theory, expectations and the open economy β€” each lesson teaches you the idea first, then checks that it stuck. FIRST THE IDEA, THEN THE QUESTION You can't be quizzed into understanding. So every lesson teaches first β€” seven to twenty cards that build the idea β€” and only then asks the questions that check it held. Miss one and you'll see why, not just that. NOT A TASTER. A CURRICULUM. Principles of Economics β€” 22 units, 220 lessons. Tradeoffs, incentives, markets, prices, GDP, inflation. The whole foundation, micro and macro. Microeconomics β€” 38 units, 266 lessons. Choice, demand, exchange, production, monopoly, game theory, welfare. Intermediate level, no hand-waving. Macroeconomics β€” 18 units, 180 lessons. Goods and financial markets, the labour market, growth, expectations, the open economy, and the policy levers that move them. Personal Finance β€” 15 units, 150 lessons. Money psychology, banking, credit, debt, investing, taxes, property β€” the economics you actually use on a Tuesday. Behavioral Economics β€” 12 units, 96 lessons. Why people don't behave the way the models say, and what that changes. WHAT'S IN EVERY LESSON - Key terms, defined once, properly - Concepts in plain language, with examples you'd actually meet - Comparisons side by side, because that's how economics thinks - Real curves, drawn to scale β€” not a stock photo of a graph - A 526-term glossary you can search any time BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING A daily goal that sits on the trail ahead of you, and a streak freeze you earn by keeping it β€” so one bad day no longer erases weeks. A widget that keeps your streak and today's goal in sight on your Home Screen. Achievements as you earn them. A leaderboard, if that's what moves you β€” and friends to climb alongside. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Armenian, Spanish and Russian. Not just the buttons β€” every card, every question, every glossary entry. START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Your first lesson needs nothing but the app. Economisto Pro unlocks unlimited hearts, an extra streak freeze, unlimited saved lessons and terms, and your full learning analytics. Monthly or yearly, and the courses themselves stay free. Terms: https://economisto.app/terms Privacy: https://economisto.app/privacy
