Economics-with-Justice offers a challenging new view of modern economics.

It starts from the assumption that justice should be a prime consideration in economics and that the idea of justice involves a fair measure of knowledge, happiness, health, freedom and prosperity for everyone.

The course provides a good grasp of some basic concepts useful in helping to make sense of what is happening in the world. The aim is to show how economics can be directed towards a more universal prosperity without exploitation or misuse of people or planet - how it can work in the best interests of all people, and why it doesn't always do so.

Topics considered in this light include land, capital and the environment; wealth distribution; banking and credit; free and fair trade; the structure of society; and taxation.

Previous knowledge or study of economics is not necessary. There are no exams, no mathematics and no certificates or other qualifications. The approach is directed to the interested citizen rather than the academic specialist.
