Description<\/span><\/h2>\n

Why Economies Rise or Fall. This course addresses a fundamental question in economics that has a profound impact on the lives of billions of people around the world: How can a nation create the conditions necessary for economic growth and prosperity, thereby improving the quality of life of individuals and society? And, once these conditions are achieved, what steps are necessary to maintain and sustain this progress? Do any of the various economic schools and systems on which our economic philosophies are organized provide the answers to these questions? While a deep understanding of different economic approaches has always been vital for policymakers, this knowledge is equally important for the general public, who may not be at the helm of the economy but who are forced to live and work within it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such an understanding provides the key to understanding not only economic events but also \u201cnon-economic\u201d news, enabling us to anticipate potential economic consequences that could affect both the national economy and our personal finances. And, of course, this knowledge strengthens your judgment in discussions of economic issues. In the 24-session course \u201cWhy Economies Boom or Crash,\u201d Professor Peter Rodriguez of the University of Virginia guides you through a stimulating and, most importantly, understandable survey of what economists do and don\u2019t know about this difficult quest for economic prosperity.<\/span><\/p>\n
