The Tuesday evening

Principles of Economics seminar series

 The Principles of Economics seminar is compact but sufficient. In four 2 hour sessions, participants gain an understanding of the major elements of all economies. Sufficiently so that they can confidently analyze economic, social and environmental issues of the day. Although not an intensive investigation of economic principles, the course nevertheless provides a fundamental and profound girding for any and all further studies in economic, social and environmental disciplines.

Each session combines hands-on activities with discussion and lecture. No prior economic study is required, yet even the PhD economist will benefit vastly from the 3 Part (the commons, labor and capital) perspective of the seminar.
