Introductory

Economics with Justice looks at economics as a human subject: the study of the relationships between individuals, institutions, and communities, grounded in human values.

History shows that when people work together they can create great wealth. Yet many of today's difficulties arise from treating economics as though it were separate from fairness and morality. This course asks whether we can prosper without impoverishing others, and what it would take to restore justice to economic life.

The course runs over ten weekly sessions. Each meeting opens with a short presentation on a topic, chosen to encourage discussion and reflection. No prior knowledge of economics is needed.
