Why is gold more precious than water, even though water is more important? Where does money come from? Do we have to choose between the economy and stopping climate change? What is the advantage in having banks and the stock market?
The economy impacts everything around us and shapes our world. To change the world ourselves, we must understand how the economy works. The How does the economy work? online course sheds light on how bread finds its way onto our table, how wealth is distributed in the world and how the big global problems come into existence and can be solved.
The online course is provided by Helsinki GSE and financed by the University of Helsinki and Aalto University. OP Financial Group is the course’s communication partner.
