Hello everyone!
My name is Darren Wilson and I am out on a mission with one of my College Professors to create a class that discusses the History of Economic Thought. I am looking to create a curriculum where someone with very little economic thought exposure can come to understand economics.
I am looking to build my class on analyzing the classics of economic thought. I want this to be a LIBERTY focused class. I want the students to be able to see all sides of the spectrum, but I wish to focus on much of the great Austrian minds and libertarian economic principles that nurture freedom and peace.
My Core Objectives
- Give students an accurate understanding of all the core economic ideas through analysis of classical works
- Show students that the only economic system to produce true freedom, liberty, and peace is that of the libertarian/Austrian economic approach
- Continue to foster the principles of true liberty, peace, and freedom within the younger generation
Lastly, the main reason that I am writing this post is because I am looking for assistance. I know a lot of the works and have read them of all economic trains of thought; however, I am uncertain as to the organization and works that I wish to include in the class. Essentially I am looking for ideas on what material I should include to allow for the best possible way to show students the strength and power of Capitalism and freedom.
This course will be available to Sophomore to Senior level College students. I am hoping not to have them order an excessive amount of books. I hope you all can help me!
Also, I was not sure where to post this as this is my first post as I am a new member
