Introductory Economics with Justice

We start by exploring the scope of economics, the nature of justice and how justice operates in the economic realm.

We look at the structure of human society centred on the family and the ways the family interacts with the community

We examine the nature of wealth and capital, how they are produced and how they are distributed

We explore our dependence on the natural world and the importance of our relationship with it for our prosperity and well-being

We look at the business of making a living and how important work is for our welfare

We explore what credit and money are with examples to show how credit can work to enhance our freedom and prosperity.

This session is about exchange, trade and how the market works. We also explore the limits of the market

We look at banks, their role, what happens when things go wrong and how banks can work effectively for the good of the economy

We look at the role of Government and how public services are paid for

The final session pieces together the different aspects of economics with justice with examples of good practice
