Macroeconomics is about the big questions and the life-changing trends.
In a new course that I have written as part of the Economics for Everyone (E4E) project at the University of Chicago, we pose big puzzles and delve into the latest data to solve them. If you want to grasp the big trends that will shape the future, I recommend taking this course.
The materials are open source, with lots of interactive charts and visualisations so that anyone can read along.
The E4E project was founded by John List and Steve Levitt in 2018.
