About the Course

Most countries are getting more and more unequal. But the core of democracy is political equality: that everyone should have an equal say in how their country is run. Can we really expect these things to go together? Can people have equal political power while economic inequality grows and grows? Take this course and decide for yourself. You’ll learn about: • The rise of economic inequality • Property rights and the corporation • Democracy: Its value and history • Campaign finance and lobbying • Tax avoidance and capital flight • Alternatives to our economic system This is an interdisciplinary course combining: • Politics • Philosophy • Economics • History • Law Our course is for anyone looking for an accessible introduction to these topics. You might a concerned citizen, or someone who works in a field like politics, media, education, government or law. The difficulty level is similar to the first-year of an undergraduate degree. No prior knowledge is assumed....

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Review “Inequality and Democracy est une contribution remarquable et d’une grande actualité. L’ouvrage démontre de manière convaincante comment les inégalités économiques affectent la participation citoyenne, la représentativité et la résilience des institutions démocratiques. L’analyse est claire, rigoureuse et solidement documentée, offrant des exemples pertinents et une réflexion profonde sur les défis politiques contemporains. Un livre essentiel pour quiconque s’intéresse à l’avenir des démocraties.”

The course was great! I have now a better understanding of the concepts of democracy, equality and capitalism and how these are connected to each other.
