About this listen

Ever since we produced our course Thinking About Capitalism, customers have expressed interest in a follow-up course that could help them understand socialism in the same way. After much consideration, we determined that it actually would be more beneficial to create a course that compares and contrasts the two major global economic theories, examining them in ways that move past the polemics many of us are used to and looking at these systems as they relate to one another and the world at large.

Politics and economics are inextricable, so it can be difficult to find the right person to tackle such a complex and often polarizing subject as objectively as possible. Luckily, we found Professor Edward Stuart, an economist and teacher who specializes in comparative economics. Professor Stuart brings not only economic expertise, but personal experience gleaned from teaching, traveling, and consulting all over the world, and it is this wide lens of experience that helps make Capitalism vs. Socialism such an engaging new entry in our library of courses.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

the course tackled some difficult questions and does not provide any clear answers to some of them...not at all a criticism, makes it quite clear as to why some major economic problems exist and as to why it's very complicated.

A really interesting course and was never boring!

There’s a definite American bias that leads to him sometimes romanticising European systems because they’re nowhere near as bad as America - for example medical students in the uk would definitely disagree with the claim that they leave university with minimal debt, though compared to the US it’s a fair statement. Other than this it’s a great lecture series that’s concise but manages to cover all the key areas.

Robin Hood wasn’t a real person but otherwise this is a great lecture series!
