This course will analyze the intersection between politics and economics and how they affect both elections and markets alike. How do our political choices affect our economic reality, and vice versa? What roles can public institutions like Congress or the Federal Reserve play in maintaining and growing our economy? What roles should free market companies have in shaping the political arena? We will analyze both history and current events in the lead-up to the 2024 elections and try to understand how these critical choices can alter our lives and our nation.
This course will meet in person October 17, 24, 31, November 7, and 14.
