Economics with Justice General Course information
This fresh and innovative approach to economics considers the principles relating to the major areas of economic study.
It takes as its basic assumption that in practice economics should have a just and equitable outcome for all those participating in, or affected by the economy. Economics is approached as a human study, involving all of humanity, but with humanity seen in the context of its place in nature and the universe. The role of nature as the source of wealth and sustainer of life is emphasized.
Importing
considerations of justice, equity and nature’s laws into
the study of how economic laws work opens up a much brighter prospect
for planetary health and human prosperity.
Further Courses
For those who wish to continue the study, there are two further courses available.
The first sets economics in its historical context. It shows the way that the evolution of economic thought has governed how the global economy and its attendant problems have developed.
The second addresses the related questions of economic growth, sustainability and human development. Additional courses are available from time to time according to demand and opportunity.
