The Ethical Economist, for Grades 7-12

In this graduate course, we will do an economic and ethical assessment of the institutions that make up a marketplace.  Why do some societies grow rich while others remain poor?  Why do some institutions lead to corruption, waste, and mutual destruction, while others steer human ingenuity in the direction of inventing ingenious ways of making one's fellow citizens (one's customer base) better off?  The ethics of individual behavior within the marketplace will be assessed.  What must one do to succeed in a market society?  What must you do to deserve to succeed?
