Put yourself on the cover of The Economist—complete with the well-deserved title of “World’s Greatest Econ Class!

This Zoom background is a great way to add a little humor to your not-so-dismal-science class!

Supply Meets Demand

Supply and demand is the backbone of economics—and now it’s the background of your class!

This Zoom background pairs well with any lesson related to those tried and true laws of econ (and our demand video!), but you can also just throw it up to hide your pre-Marie Kondo'd living room. 


The Price Isn't Right

Help students feel the pain of a price freeze by transporting them back to the gas shortages of the '70s with this Zoom background!

This background pairs well with any lesson on price controls (try it with our vid on price ceilings) but you can also use it to call attention to that infamous day in history when Nixon announced a price freeze (August 15, 1971). 


Who Wants to be a Trillionaire?

Teachers, don’t just tell your students about the risks of inflation run amok—show them with our 10 trillion Zimbabwean dollar note Zoom background!

This background obviously pairs well with any lesson on inflation (and our hyperinflation video!), but yes, in case you were wondering, Zimbabwe really had a 10 trillion dollar note in 2009 during an extreme period of hyperinflation. (They also had a 100 trillion dollar note.)

The Great Recession

Use this Zoom background to help students understand the causes and devastating effects of the crash felt ‘round the world.

This background pairs well with lessons on the Great Recession, fiscal policy, and monetary policy (and our video on the 2008 crisis!), but you can also use it to mark the harbinger of The Great Recession: the day Lehman Brothers failed (September 15, 2008).
