课程名称：理解我们的政治经济 课程概述：本课程旨在研究基本经济原则，并将其应用于解决当今经济问题，如贫困、不平等、失业、经济衰退、高税收和通货膨胀等。所用教材是亨利·乔治的经典著作《进步与贫困》。尽管该书首次出版于1879年，但其所涉及的原则在今日依然适用。阅读此书将使学生信服其及时性。乔治在书中试图解决的基本问题至今仍然存在：为什么尽管社会进步，贫困依然存在？虽然自乔治时代以来已有许多答案被提出，诸多对策被应用，但这一问题依然存在。此外，商业周期和失业的反复出现也未能得到解决。本课程将深入探讨乔治的分析，这些分析一直未受到充分关注，但也从未被有效驳斥。 本课程采取一种基本且非技术性的经济学方法。课程将定义基本术语，探寻基本经济法则并应用基本原则。每一课都有学习补充材料，旨在加强教材的内容，通过阐述特定要点、将原则应用于当前条件以及解答常见问题来增补学习。 课程分为七节内容： 1. 经济学的兴起 2. 政治经济的基本要素 3. 生产和财富分配的自然法则 4. 货币、货币体系与信贷 5. 租金、私有化与经济繁荣-萧条周期 6. 新古典价格理论的盲点 7. 当完美无法实现时该怎么做 可以看出，课程的最后部分超越了经济学，涉及社会正义。主题展开得愈来愈引人入胜，最终会回报那些坚持到最后的学生。每节课都有在线作业，在某些情况下还有补充阅读和离线练习题。为了从本课程中获得最大收获，强烈建议通读《进步与贫困》全书。
The purpose of this course is to study fundamental economic principles and to apply them in solving today's economic problems: poverty, inequality, unemployment, recessions, high taxes, inflation, etc. The textbook used is Henry George's masterwork, Progress and Poverty. Though this book first appeared in 1879, it is fully applicable to today's conditions since the principles with which it deals are universal. A reading of the book will convince the student of its timeliness.The basic problem which George set out to solve in this book is still today's basic problem: Why, in spite of progress, does poverty persist?Many answers have been given since George's day, and many measures have been applied, but the problem still remains. The problems of the business cycle and recurring periods of unemployment have also defied solution. In this course, we look into George's analysis to which sufficient attention has not been paid, but which has never been successfully refuted.A fundamental and non-technical approach to economics is taken in this course. Basic terms are defined, basic economic laws are sought and basic principles are applied. Study supplements are offered for each lesson - not as a substitute for the text but to augment it - by elaborating certain points, by applying the principles to current conditions and by answering the most frequently asked questions.The course is divided into 7 lessons. The Rise of EconomicsEssential Elements of Political EconomyThe Natural Laws of Production and Distribution of Wealth Money, Currency and CreditRent Privatization and the Boom-Bust CycleHoles in the Neo-classical Price TheoryWhat to do when the Perfect is out of ReachIt will be seen that the last part of the course goes beyond economics and into social justice. The theme as it unfolds becomes more fascinating and will reward the student who pursues it to the end.Each lesson has online assignments and in some cases, supplemental reading and a set of questions for offline practice.To get the most from this course, it is highly recommended to read the entire text of Progress and Poverty.
