Economics

 

Economics is a vital part of any prospering society. Studying economies of both the past and the present will help to give a deeper understanding of not just money and wealth, but of the direction of societies and the social and philosophical ideas of trade.

Our lessons that delve into modern economics, uncovering why Black countries and Black people remain poor while the rest of the world feasts on their natural wealth, are within our Political Science module. The lessons that delve into precolonial economics are in our History module. Mentions of alternative economics are found in our Liberation Philosophy module.
