Economics with Justice - Thursday evenings

The Foundation Economics Course presented in Term 1 provides a broad introduction to the principles of economics. The course offers understanding and insight into the forces governing our lives and those of our fellow human beings. Students are invited to question all that is presented and to exercise their own powers of reason and observation to bring the study to life.

Throughout the course the idea is to use truth and justice as guides to the study. These are the measures against which the principles taught are to be tested. The basis of this approach is the view that, if what is understood is true, its application will produce justice in human affairs.

The subject matter for each week is as follows:
Session 1 – Humanity meets the Universe
