Economics for Everyone
We are glad to announce our 1-day online workshop Economics for Everyone on Sunday, 18th August 2024. Registration can be done through the link below. This workshop is open for everyone who wishes to learn sound economics so that they can understand what is happening in the global economy. You will learn to analyze real-life problems they didn’t teach you in school.
The Advice
One of the greatest economists of the twentieth century Ludwig von Mises in his magnum opus ‘Human Action’ said:
There is no means by which anyone can evade his responsibility. Whoever neglects to examine to the best of his abilities all the problems involved voluntarily surrenders his birthright to a self-appointed elite of supermen. In such vital matters, blind reliance upon “experts” and uncritical acceptance of popular catchwords and prejudices is tantamount to the abandonment of self-determination and yielding to other people’s domination. As conditions are today, nothing can be more important to every intelligent man than economics. His fate and that of his progeny is at stake.
Very few are capable of contributing any consequential idea to the body of economic thought. But all reasonable men are called upon to familiarize themselves with the teachings of economics. This is, in our age, the primary civic duty.
Whether we like it or not, it is a fact that economics cannot remain an esoteric branch of knowledge accessible only to small groups of scholars and specialists. Economics deals with society’s fundamental problems; it concerns everyone and belongs to all. It is the main and proper study of every citizen. (Chapter 38, “The Place of Economics in Learning.”)
The Result
Our workshop is a direct product of this advice of Mises. As he said, in our age it is every citizen’s civic duty to familiarize himself with the sound ideas of economic science. To help the citizens to learn these ideas we are organizing this workshop.
