I just found this. Looks interesting and cheap for a real certificate from a University (not a MOOC).

That's unusual.
Seems mostly like an MOOC though, since it's not college credit. It's directly through the school, apparently.
Quote:Students may take as long as one year to complete the course and will receive college credit in the form of a certificate rather than credit hours. On completion of the course, students who have answered 60% or more of the quiz questions correctly will be awarded a Certificate of Achievement for the Study of Capitalism. Otherwise, they will be presented with a Certificate of Participation.

It looks directly from the University which makes it different and has its cool factor.
3rd Party MOOCs are OK (I have a ton), but it's NOT the same.

I don't see a Point of Contact listed for the certificate. I am going to try to contact the instructor and ask if the course/certificate will be reflected on a transcript or if you just get the completion certificate. Seems interesting. I might take it either way.

I would say not. It's sounds like "professional level credit", like taking an extension course.
