📄 Class 101 Detailed Page — Sullok Economic History (lessons 1-10)

1 ️ ESG “This class is for those who just watch economic news and seem to know everything, but just want to explain it to someone.”

Stocks, bubbles, inflation, capitalism... The words are familiar, but when someone asks, “Why did that happen?” do you hesitate?

If you've read several books on economics, YouTube, and finance, but all that's left in your head is fragmentary knowledge, this class will fill that exact point.

2 ️ ︎ Most economics studies go this way.

It's fun to watch Keizai YouTube, but there's nothing left after watching it all.
When I open an economic book, my head hurts from the graphs and terms.
I understand “why the bubble occurs,” but no one really explains “why it repeats every time.”

In fact, many people have this kind of problem.

“Studying economics, I don't know where or how to start.”
“I know the economic terms in the news, but I can't get in touch with them because I don't know the historical context.”
“I'm curious about the story behind how capitalism was created.”

This class unravels that feeling in the most fun way, called “History in History.”

3 ️ ︎ This class doesn't end with “memorizing” economic theory.

The goal is to create “a state where when you watch economic news, the historical context behind it automatically comes to mind.”

Through 10 historical events — the Tulip Bubble, the Great Depression, the Subprime Crisis, LTCM, the Mississippi Bubble, Adam Smith, Marx, the East India Company, the Gilding Age, and the Nixon Shock — you will naturally learn how capitalism was created and the repeated patterns within it.

It doesn't simply list the curriculum. Each lecture is structured around “What was ironic about this incident,” and it is not simply about learning knowledge A new way of looking at the worldI'll let you have it.

4 ️ ECT Why Surlock?

The YouTube channel “Sullock: The Irony of History” deals with irony and structural paradoxes in history, and has built a steady stream of trust among viewers through “exciting stories told by friends at a cafe” rather than hard lectures.

Difference from traditional economic history courses: Not a simple chronological explanation, but a storytelling structure centered around **"how intentions and results were distorted"**
Every lesson is based on a 10,000-character, precision-written script, and each lesson tells a complete story within 20 minutes
Improve credibility through a fact-verification process, and honestly present both perspectives at points where there is controversy in academia

5 ️ ECT Recommended for people like this

People who can't grasp the context even when they read economic articles or news
I like history, but political history and war

People who are more interested in the “flow of money” than people
Rather than simply learning information, “why?” Those who want to get an answer to the question
At a drinking party or meeting, “Huh? Do you know that?” Those who need an interesting story to unravel
