Michael Raviv is a Senior Economics Lecturer, macroeconomics expert, and global educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience in higher education. He lectures in economics and finance at Tel-Hai University in the Galilee, teaching macroeconomics, capital markets, securities analysis, investment principles, and the Israeli economy.

Beyond the classroom, Michael brings roughly 15 years of hands-on experience in the financial markets. He founded and led an Israeli brokerage firm that managed investment portfolios and mutual funds, specializes in derivatives, and developed trading software for the Tel Aviv derivatives market. This blend of academic depth and real-world market practice is at the heart of how he teaches: not just the theory, but how it actually works.

He is also the founder of one of the world's largest economics-focused educational networks, reaching learners in more than 35 countries with over 4.5 million subscribers across his channels — including "All About Economics with Michael" (1.7M+ subscribers) and "Macroeconomics with Michael." He has produced thousands of educational videos on economics, finance, and public policy.

His teaching philosophy is simple: economics and finance should be understandable, practical, and relevant. Every concept, formula, and model becomes clear once you see the why behind it — not just the how. His courses combine academic rigor with real-world examples so that students gain a genuine, lasting understanding they can use academically and professionally.
