Three levels. One clear progression.
The course structure moves from foundational concepts to more nuanced material. Each level is self-contained enough to be useful on its own, but the progression is intentional.
Money, prices and purchasing power
The foundation level covers the concepts that underpin everything else. What money is and how it functions. Why prices change and what drives those changes. What inflation means in concrete terms, not just as a definition.
This level is appropriate for someone who has never formally studied economics or finance. It assumes curiosity and no prior technical knowledge. The examples are drawn from everyday Argentine life: grocery prices, transport costs, wage adjustments.
What is money?
The functions of money, why it has value and what happens when that value changes.
Inflation explained
How inflation is measured, what causes it and how to read it in the Argentine context.
Purchasing power
What it means for wages and savings to lose real value, illustrated with local price history.
Interest rates, time and the value of money
The intermediate level builds on the foundation to explore how interest rates work, why the distinction between nominal and real rates matters, and how time affects the value of money.
This level is suited for someone who understands inflation conceptually and wants to go further. The examples involve savings accounts, fixed-term deposits and debt, always explained as concepts rather than recommendations.
Nominal vs. real interest rates
The critical difference between the rate you see and the rate that accounts for inflation.
Time value of money
Why a peso today is worth more than a peso tomorrow, and how to think about that in practice.
Debt and interest
How interest accumulates on debt and what that means for understanding the real cost of borrowing.
Risk, return and diversification as concepts
The advanced level addresses the relationship between risk and return, what diversification means as a principle and how to think about financial uncertainty without making specific decisions.
This level is designed for someone who has worked through the earlier content and wants to develop a more complete conceptual framework. The material is analytical in tone and uses Argentine economic history as a source of examples.
Risk and return
Why these two concepts are inseparable and how to think about the trade-off between them.
Diversification as a principle
The logic of not concentrating everything in one place, explained through accessible analogies.
Economic volatility
How to understand economic cycles and volatility using Argentine historical examples.
