The Law, Proper Role & Economics in One Lesson
Prerequisites: None
Required Text: The Law, Fredrick Bastiat; The Proper Role of Government, E.T. Benson; Economics in One Lesson, Henry Hazlitt
Credits: .5
Sessions per Week: 1
Tuition: $30
Course Description: This course spends the first semester in civics with a study of the classic treatise on political philosophy, The Law. Weekly reading assignments are followed with a quiz and class discussion. This book is followed with a study of Ezra Taft Benson’s important statement on “The Proper and Improper Role of Government.” Benson was uniquely qualified to give such a commentary because of his experience at the highest levels of national government and as the prophet of the Lord. Then students apply the lessons of these studies to the current political campaigns and national debates. The second semester is invested in a study of the principles of economics as masterfully elucidated by Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson, which is built upon the work of Fredrick Bastiat. This course should be taken in the fall of even numbered years to coincide with our national election cycle.
