Anyone interested in economics/finance should check out the Financial Markets class on here. It was taught by Robert Shiller, who is a pretty highly-regarded author on the subject (and also the "Shiller" in "Case-Shiller index" of home prices):

open university/courses will become a norm... if you're interested in the subject then there should not be any reason why you cant study and clear exams without any hassle ....

one such univ. is "University of the People", world’s first tuition-free, online academic institution dedicated to the global advancement of higher education.
