I didn't pay attention all year in Econ and I just learned the whole damn thing in like 30 minutes on Khan academy

I’m currently doing an MBA course and your videos have honestly helped me so much in getting to grips with the economics module. The explanations are so thorough and have been making it so much easier to wrap my head around the topics at hand. So grateful !

This guy is such a good teacher. I am a fully online student at the moment and watch a lot of videos with multiple instructors. I'm always happy whenever it's his videos because I know I'll actually understand the concept.

I'm a law student at the first year but we have economic lessons too and my teacher is USELESS. Not to mention that we work with a quite advanced textbook (at least for us law students that don't want to deal that much with calculations). I was feeling so stupid because I couldn't understand the book, neither the problems but Khan Academy just saved me. These videos make me realize that I'm not stupid to understand economics, it's just that I need to have someone to explain things simply and carefully. THANK YOU KHAN ACADEMY❣

[piesdepau]

why is there a consumer surplus (gain on the side of the consumer) if they've paid 60 000 for a products which's price is 30 000?

[TheBlankThought]

My final is today for economics. Please save me Khan.

[MustafaHammood]

thanks

[huiwen]

Is marginal benefit = consumer surplus and can we use the term interchangeably?

[terrell]

Which video came before this one an which comes after? I'm kind of confused..

[hugodsa]

@khanacademy again sorry, our should we look at the slope of the demand curve, until it reaches a points or the marginal benefit is still positive, until it reaches a stationary point?

[ConnerVain]

Anything that will propel towards graduation and a better life.

[Sparksy]

Im so confused on why the consumer surplus is 60k meaning they got that much more in benefit. To me it sounds like theyre overpaying it?why is this a benefit?why is it a "consumer surplus" if it's the seller getting more $?
So confused.

[amansrivastava]

Didn't understand this part at all, somebody please explain.
