How this course will help you

To see how economic mistakes can repeat time and again, you need look no further than recent history.

The Great Depression was the result of a coMB ination of protectionism,

populism, and nationalism that coMB ined with bad government policy to make a toxic brew that mired the

U.S. and much of the world in an economic downturn for nearly a decade, with effects comparable to a major war.

Less than a century later, the Great Recession of 2007-2008 brought a repeat of the financial devastation of its precursor,

even if some of the circumstances leading to it had changed with the times.

Similar events can be traced throughout other parts of the world, as exemplified by the

Greek debt crisis that resulted when the nation gave up the

ability to set its own monetary policy as it joined other nations linked by the euro as common currency.
