This course seeks to establish understanding of the development processes of societies and economies by studying several dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social, political, institutional, economy, organizational, relational, and personal) and the balance among them. It explores the basics of governmental intervention, focusing on areas such as the judicial system, environment, social security, and health, and builds skills to determine what type of policy is most appropriate. We also consider implications of new technologies on the financial sector: Internationalization of currencies, mobile payment systems, and cryptocurrencies, and discuss the institutional framework to ensure choices are sustainable across all dimensions and applications.

EconGuy Videos: The Fed, Inflation, and Speeding Tickets

Since the Crash of 2008, the Federal Reserve has been "printing money" to stimulate the economy. But won't that just lead to inflation? Speeding tickets are always caused by flooring the gas pedal, but flooring the gas doesn't always result in a speeding ticket - like when you're driving up a steep hill. Likewise, inflation is always caused by printing money - but monetary expansion does not always lead to inflation.
