Any recommendations for good YouTube posts of full college lecture courses?

In the past I've enjoyed YaleCourses posts of Philosophy of Mind with Searle; Dante in translation with Mizzota; introduction to the old testament with Hayes; Marx's Capital with Harvey.

I'd be interested in anything in the literature, especially classical antiquity or 20th century anglophone; economics; history, especially Islamic or Chinese on a broad scale.

Not on YouTube, but I found this economics course to be quite good:

You can purchase it on Audible for 15 bucks and it's well worth the money. Timothy Taylor is a great lecturer and is very enthusiastic about his trade.
