https://sites.duke.edu/intrope/ COURSE OVERVIEW: Introduction to Political Economy is a self-contained and nontechnical overview of the intellectual history of political economy, the logic of microeconomics, and the definitions used in macroeconomics. It introduces the notion of a political economy, emphasizing the moral and ethical problems that markets solve, and fail to solve. LECTURE OVERVIEW: 1. IF there are a. 3+ choices b. 3+ choosers c.

A beautiful bridge that falls is no good; a "just" constitution that falls into revolution and chaos is also no good. 3. Two problems: Indeterminacy (chaos) and manipulation (agenda control) 4. Kelo v. New London (2005): can majorities control themselves? 5. Jim Crow South: Majorities used state power to abuse minorities 6.
