Welcome to week 1 of Economics: Society, Markets and [In]equality. This week is about how economic analysis can help us understand the world around us and our history. This series of lessons starts off with an overview of modern capitalism and how it evolved and then explores profits and how they drive the economy. Finally, you’ll learn about how various economic philosophies that we may take for granted affect the way we see the world, especially how we view wealth and poverty. You’ll learn how these philosophies came to be, and you might even be challenged to rethink your own worldview. So, let’s get started!
