Why is prosperity distributed so unevenly? Why isn’t the path to prosperity predictable? What, if anything, can be done to lift more people out of poverty? These 24 lectures give you an unrivaled overview of one of the most pressing issues of our day. Professor Drezner takes you behind the headlines and into the debates to dispel common myths about prosperity and get at deeper truths. By taking a broad view of economics that includes psychology, sociology, political science, and history, his lectures lead you to fundamental insights about how the modern world works and a deeper understanding of the functioning of the U.S., European, Chinese, and other major economies, as well as an appreciation for the special problems faced by underdeveloped nations. You’ll examine dozens of case histories that illustrate what works and doesn’t work in the drive to increase economic growth. You’ll also learn about intriguing examples of prosperity won or lost, including the Dutch tulip mania in 1637, the era of globalization that started in the 1850s and lasting through World War I, and Ukraine’s economic missteps after the breakup of the Soviet Union. As a start on your own road to greater prosperity, take this step to invest in an unparalleled explanation of the prerequisites to achieve it.
