Course Content (Syllabus)
The course focuses on highlighting a different view on the economy, putting centre-stage the interaction between people and the environment in order to define the full range of human needs (beyond material ones), surplus management, ethical dimensions of exchange, the production and management of the commons, and investment in a future that may improve holistically the well-being of individuals and society. Such a view of the economy reframes ways of dealing with the contemporary challenges of climate change and other risks, maximising potentials for collective prevention and proposing ways of management aiming at reversing the terms of problems' production.
