About

Book List: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rqjpwv7Xn5WSZJJXzjFNq7QN-h-IvwwlyNrBZG9Z2SM/edit?usp=sharing Office Hours: https://schoolhouse.world/series/1639?celebrate The aim of this series is to analyze Capitalist and Socialist Theory from an objective point of view. We will read Adam Smith and Karl Marx, among many, many more. We will read their critics, discuss the ideas we read in our sessions, and (optionally) write essays analyzing, comparing, and contrasting their ideas. This series is the third part--on Socialism. How we structure each session will be based on this guide: http://www.greatbooks.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Shared-Inquiry-Handbook.pdf Sessions will be added continually.

Tutor Qualifications

I have read a few books on capitalism and socialism, though I hope this series will vastly expand my knowledge.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss any sessions, since we will have a strict timeline for reading each book. However, attendance is optional and we will be summarizing and discussing each week's reading (for those who couldn't read themselves).

About the Tutor

A little about me: I'm about the biggest Indie fan there is, I almost exclusively watch (John Hughes>>) 80s movies or the upcoming Star Wars series, and I read sci-fi in my spare time. I tutor for the sake of those aha moments, and have taken Multivariable Calc, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, and Complex Analysis. Who knows what I'll tutor next, hope to see you soon.
