I am looking for an online resource to learn finances/economics/investment from the ground up.
I am using those three words because I do not know the difference quite well. The bottom line is that I want to learn how money works, and stop “selling my time for money” (working for some employer). Maybe starting a business, investing in real state, or stock market, maybe another route that I don’t even see…
- I am looking for content ideally free, but good material deserves to be paid too.
- Progressive complexity starting from little or no assumptions: several youtubers have all-over-the-place topics that they comment on, assuming you know what they are talking about.
- Perhaps a book or series of books is the solution to this? Or an online course? But you know, every “money bro” says they have the best book/course ever.
thanks for your comments :)


For learning about economic & financial concepts and how they impact the world check out the NPR podcast Planet Money. It’s free, episodes aren’t too long, and they cover some really interesting stories that involve businesses, supply chains, government policy, etc. a fun episode is #862: Big Government Cheese
