“How Markets Work” is the first of six online courses exploring the dimensions of freedom from ancient philosophy through contemporary economic and political thought. Taking its inspiration from Oxford University’s famous Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) program, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s (ISI) PPE is unique in being a comprehensive, integrated, serious, and yet accessible way for any student to obtain an education in freedom. ISI will offer badges and certification depending on individual levels of course completions. It has also partnered with several colleges and universities to make its courses available for transferable college credit. The ISI PPE features top scholars with a passion for education and liberty. It promises students an exciting intellectual journey, one very few colleges in our time are able–or willing–to provide. Each of the six PPE courses engages important thinkers, key institutions, influential concepts, and great books. It is broken into five main parts for ease of learning and offers a wide range of supplementary resources for those who want to go beyond the relatively brief preliminary assignments. It can be taken on your own time or as part of a study group.
Students can engage the ISI PPE through either an open enrollment track at ppe.isi.org or a for-credit track through a variety of institutional partners. There are also more than a dozen conference events at which students can study liberty at the direction of ISI’s top faculty mentors and alongside fellow students interested in deepening their understanding of the dimensions of freedom. As such, ISI’s PPE content will be delivered through a variety of means to ensure that it is accessible for a wide audience.
The first online ISI PPE course is “How Markets Work” featuring Dr. Tawni Ferrarini of Lindenwood University and Northern Michigan University and Daniel Hammond of Wake Forest University. The King’s College, Northwood University, and Faulkner University are partnering on this course and offering transferable credit. The second ISI PPE economics course, “Economics and the Pursuit of Happiness,” will be produced in early January 2018 and feature Jay Richards of The Catholic University of America and Anne Rathbone Bradley of the Institute for Faith, Work & Economics.
