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 :)
If you can get finance books from various periods. Like at library sales or such. Its valuable to see just how much the “science” is run by fads of the time. Also note how when particular economic models are put into practice its only some of it. I personally think Keynes has it pretty right but very few places raise taxes during good times, pay down debt, and even make rainy day funds. They treat it like its always bad times (especially the us) and use interest rates over tax policy.
