Podcast in English where a diverse array of scholars from social sciences are interviewed in relation to the historical and philosophical foundations of markets. 

The Foundations of Economic Thought was our last online course. The objective was to explore the foundational thinkers in economics, tracing the evolution of economic thought from medieval philosophy to influential theories of the 20th century. The idea behind selecting economists was to focus on individuals who represent key periods in the history of economic thought and whose work transcended the discipline, leaving a lasting impact on social sciences, political philosophy, and policymaking. The course not only delved into the major theories of these economists but also examined their intellectual biographies, emphasizing the historical, social, and political contexts in which their ideas emerged. 

The Markets and their Critics Open Online Course was our 2024 online course. The objective was to familiarize students with the most recent literature on the how economists, philosophers, sociologists, and social scientists in general have grappled with the concept of markets and the various criticisms that have been leveled against them. Providing students with a deep and critical understanding of the historical development, ethical dilemmas, efficiency considerations, fairness debates, and potential alternatives to market-based economic systems.

The Open Online Course of  Economic History of Latin America was our first online course. The objective was to familiarize students with the most recent literature on the economic history of Latin America and its contemporary development. Despite recent gains in democracy and economic growth in the region, it still lags behind advanced economies in Europe and Asia. These traits are linked to a shared past: indigenous legacies, colonial extraction, slavery, economies based on commodities, political fragmentation, conflicts fueled by the cold war, and authoritarian regimes and rebellions against them. It was an interdisciplinary course that encompassed the most recent contributions in economics, economic history, political science, archeology, and other fields.
