When completed, the Firefly Trail will be a 39-mile multi-purpose trail from Union Point to Athens following on or near the historic corridor of the Georgia Railroad Athens Branch. The trail will provide a safe, flat, public resource for health, economic development, alternate transportation, tourism, conservation, historic preservation, and fun! Much progress has been made in recent years on building the trail. This course is both an introduction to the Firefly Trail and an update on the latest funding, construction, grants, and ribbon-cuttings all along its 39-mile route. Visit the website www.fireflytrail.com to learn more about this exciting project.

Because of international trade, the U. S. has been able to access the world’s talent, resources, and products. Recently, however, a growing bipartisan consensus holds that trade has hollowed out our manufacturing sector, crushed jobs, destroyed communities, and deepened inequality. This consensus favors protectionism. We will explore the arguments for and against free trade. Does it kill jobs? Benefit consumers? Threaten national security? Are trade deficits bad? We will consider the economic and political implications of protectionism, paying particular attention to tariffs and our trade relations with China.
