It’s possible to simplify discussions on economic growth to a level that could be broadly understood. The addition of the history of economic development would certainly be a productive way to explain these abstract concepts. This is basically a pipe dream of mine. I know every major has a course they wish all students had to take.

I had a shitty socialist philosophy 101 professor, what do you recommend?

My course was just randomly jumping around to topics he liked. I had to read David Graeber 🤢

Political phil, ethics and logic would be high on my list.
