Description
More than ever, wealth and poverty and the tension between them are the key themes of the economy. How the economic system promotes wealth creation and economic stability, as well as winners and losers, have become key questions for both society and journalists. In this course students will learn about U.S. and global economic issues and will learn to analyze economic reports by governments, academics, and private organizations. They will learn how to relate these reports and numbers to real people and communities, and how to write accessible, readable articles about them.
