Political Economy

Returns 2022. Date and time TBD

In 2008, the world experienced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The decade that followed this crisis was one of radical change and turmoil. From Bitcoin to Brexit, to Trump and the trade wars, the Great Recession of 2008 was the defining event of our time. Well, it was. COVID-19 is not only a global health calamity, but has led to unprecedented political and economic crises.

Over the course of the next few months, we will attempt to come to some understanding about how we got where we are today, and why it matters. The science of economics can sometimes seem intimidating, and even a bit far removed. It wasn’t until college that I began to study economics, mostly out of fear of numbers. But actually, economics isn’t all about numbers, nor is it all that scary. Furthermore, to study economics is to study how real-world issues affect our everyday life: what could be more interesting?!

Lev Moscow has taught International Political Economy at the high school level for over a decade, as well as courses on the history of the global economy at Florence University of the Arts in Italy, and at Think Olio in NYC. He is the co-host of A Correction Podcast (acorrectionpodcast.com).
