Foundations for
The introduction to our economic understanding, and foundation for all other courses. No explicit knowledge of the economy or economics is presupposed.
Aim of the course
The course aims to equip participants with an alternative, more real-world, economics training than that provided by most Universities. This will be done in the context of a demystification of the economics taught in higher education, and an unpacking of what are perceived to be problems with the standard economics texts used in the teaching of economics courses from secondary school onwards.
What you get out of the course

- Appreciate the significance of global and domestic policy making for the health and well-being of the global and domestic economic environments.
- Get a sense of the general direction in which the global and domestic economies are headed with the aid of readily understandable charts and tables.
