    This course includes an interesting range of resources from satirical cartoons to modern art, literature to recent feature films and documentaries. The educators are enthusiastic and made me want to continue studying. There's also a mix of learners from around the world, some of whom have backgrounds in finance and others who are interested in history or literature.
