About this ebook
Economics, 3rd Edition is the companion book to the audio/video series of the same name. It contains a full transcript of the series as well as the complete course guidebook which includes lecture notes, bibliography, and more.
About this series:
Gnosticism, one of the most fascinating and perplexing phenomena in Western religious history, sparked religious ideologies that competed with many other religions of the time, including the theological thinking that came to define Christianity. And, though the emerging Orthodox Church eventually condemned Gnosticism as heretical, the church formed many of its most central doctrines (such as original sin, the Immaculate Conception, and even the concept of heresy) in response to Gnostic ideas. This fascinating 24-lecture course is a richly detailed guide to the theology, sacred writings, rituals, and outstanding human figures of the Gnostic movements. What we call "Gnosticism" comprised a number of related religious ideologies and movements, all of which sought " gnosis, " or immediate, direct, and intimate knowledge of God. The Gnostics had many scriptures, but unlike the holy texts of other religions, Gnostic scriptures were often modified over time. Gnostic cosmology was extraordinarily intricate and multidimensional, but religious myth was simply a means to the ultimate end of gnosis . Follow Gnostic ideology and its vivid impact on Western thought through the centuries, from its role in early religions and its re-emergence in medieval spirituality to its remarkable traces in modern popular culture, from science fiction novels like Blade Runner to Hollywood films like The Matrix . In delving into the paths of gnosis , you'll discover a compelling, alternative current of religious practice in the West, and reveal Gnostic influence resonating in Western spirituality even in the present day.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I picked up these lectures as I was slogging my way through Capital in the 21st Century, this year's surprise best seller by award winning economist Thomas Piketty. Where Capital was obtuse, hard to understand, rambling, these lectures were clear, focused, and enlightening. After finishing these lectures, my understanding of Economics, from basic principles like supply and demand, to more subtle issues, like government policy with regard to trade deficits, grew dramatically. Not only does he present the theories clearly and concisely, he gives current examples and adds in a touch of humor. Highly, highly recommended. I'm looking forward to listening to more lectures by this professor.
