Certificate_Globalization Past and FutureKumar Mukund
Globalization: a new phenomenon or an evolving state of the world? In the age of the internet, highly interconnected supply chains and mass migration societies feel more closely linked than ever. But is that really the case?
In this four-part mini-course, Professor Jeffrey Sachs argues that we have always lived in a global world. He takes students on a historical and anthropological tour of six distinct waves of globalization and outlines the key factors that drove innovation, technology dispersal and development during these epochs. The course tells the story of a global humanity and asks the question: What lessons can we pull from history to help understand the tumultuous changes underway today?
Certificate_Macroeconomics for a Sustainable PlanetKumar Mukund
Unemployment. Inflation. Protectionism. Economic bubble. Debt. Fiscal deficit. These are not just terms in an economics textbook; these are real-life challenges that are dominating the media and that carry major societal implications. We are more interconnected and interdependent than ever before in history, and in the 21st century, the thoughtful study of macroeconomics needs to consider another crucial factor: sustainable development.
Traditionally considered externalities or by-products of the global economic engine, environmental degradation and the erosion of social capital have a drastic and direct effect on the capacity of the planet to thrive economically. Macroeconomics for a Sustainable Planet is an exploration of traditional macroeconomic principles and tools updated for the age of sustainable development and the current wave of globalization. The course is led by two leading economic minds, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Quetelet Professor of Sustainable Development and Economics at Columbia University and senior UN advisor, and Professor Felipe Larraín, former Minister of Finance of Chile and Professor of Economics at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
Over the course of 13 weeks, Professors Sachs and Larraín will explore the different macroeconomic “pathologies” at play in the modern day global economy, drawing from the lessons and experiences of the past and incorporating the significant biophysical pressures facing the planet today. Is a thriving global economy possible in an equitable and environmentally thoughtful way? Join us as we delve into the new macroeconomic toolkit that is needed to answer that question.
