We'll be sending news about this course soon to people on our mailing list
This pioneering course provides a radically different view of economics than all mainstream to date, & also to courses on alternative or 'green' economics to date, especially in methodology & range of vision. Feminist Economics is included in this course - an often ignored very early pre-decessor of much current 'alternative economics', which is however often diluted of it's most radical messages & models.
In this truly integral course, we will also provide space & encouragement to explore the historical, ethical, sacred & spiritual aspects of economics, also.
The course will be completely bilingual > English - Spanish, so all students will be invited to participate in both if they wish to practice languages.
We will also explore the question of How can we design our personal transition from living enslaved to an exploitative economy... to be part of the change, creating dignified work which allows us to support our families in an ethical & truly productive way, whilst we enjoy serving the world with our unique talents? The very limited view of conventional economics is represented by the thin red line half-way up this triangular diagram. The whole-picture view is a lot more interesting & useful in the long-term, and what we will be exploring during the whole course. It is essential that we have a good understanding of the most basic & vital economies or markets of the Planet: the cycles & networks of exchange of Nature, that current ignorance & economics is destroying, & without which there is no Life on Earth. We very much embedd all EcoEconomics design models on this proto-economics base. . ![]() |
