Scarcity: Learn Economics
Smith to Piketty, offline
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A four-year economics course that teaches the live disagreements as disagreements.
A four-year economics curriculum, offline, with no account and no network.
Scarcity covers the standard micro and macro sequence plus the applied fields: microeconomic foundations first, then market failure and the state, then macroeconomics and money, then applied and contemporary questions.
WHAT IS INSIDE
100 lessons across four years, each 15 to 25 minutes, with on-device narration
60 economist profiles, from Smith and Ricardo to Card and Piketty
673 glossary terms, cross-linked to the lessons that use them
20 quizzes with worked explanations for every answer
18 landmark cases where theory met the world, from the minimum wage studies to the 2008 crisis
Spaced repetition that schedules the terms you keep forgetting
Bookmarks and notes on any lesson, profile or term
Three Home Screen widgets: a quote, a term and a figure, each changing daily
HOW IT TEACHES
Economics has live disagreements, and this course teaches them as disagreements rather than picking a side. On the minimum wage you get Card and Krueger and you get the critiques. On austerity you get the multiplier debate and the Reinhart-Rogoff spreadsheet error. On inequality you get Piketty and the objections to r > g. Where the evidence is settled the lesson says so; where it is not, you get the state of the argument.
FREE AND PAID
The first ten lessons are free. One purchase of $9.99 unlocks the remaining 90 and everything else, permanently. There is no subscription, there are no ads, and there is no account to create. Family Sharing is supported.
OFFLINE BY DESIGN
The app makes no network connections. Every lesson, profile, glossary entry, quiz and case study is bundled in the download, so the whole course works in airplane mode. Nothing you read or write here leaves your device.
Ratings & Reviews
Quiz questions have been rewritten so the answer can no longer be spotted from its shape. Every option in a set now follows the same pattern and a similar length, so the right answer has to be recognised rather than guessed. Question wording and explanations were reviewed alongside it.
