Note on content:

This class teaches economics concepts rooted in what are considered "Classical Economic Theory" which emerged from the enlightenment in Western Europe in the 1700s. 

Language proficiency notice: students will be discussing complex financial terms and ideas. A very strong English language proficiency is required to grasp the full understanding of the material. The pacing of the course is very intense.

These ideas are broadly applicable in various regions of the globe, where individuals have access to retail and commercial banking services and market or mixed economies. While an attempt will be made to explain ideas so all students can understand, hyper local examples and command based systems fall outside these financial skills. The course has an implicit bias that wealth accumulation is societally acceptable, at least to a varying degree. 

Specifically, this class recognizes the ability to lend money at interest as a core concept within the financial world. It represents the importance of individuals being able to accumulate private property to pursue financial independence. 

Its foundational ideas are rooted in John Locke's principles of the right to hold and accumulate private property.

Learning Goals

Students will be able to recognize and complete basic applications of the the five aspects of financial literacy: earning, savings, spending habits, protecting, and investing.
Students will be able to define and explain how entrepreneurs think.
