Filip Matějka & Jan Zápal: Fundamental Social Issues from the point of view of Economics


Optional subject for students of Charles University - The lectures are conducted Czech language



In the lecture series "Fundamental Social Issues from the point of view of Economics" Filip Matějka and Jan Zápal, professors at CERGE-EI, address current global problems and demonstrate how economics views these issues.

The course is intended for students of all disciplines and academic years who wish to seek answers to questions (or understand why it is difficult to answer) such as: What can governments do, and what can markets do? What about social inequality, the future of work, global warming, threats to democracy, media, and (dis)information? The aim of this course is to familiarize students with the fundamental concepts and ways of thinking of modern economics using real-world social problems.

A total of 6 lessons will take place every Monday from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Faculty of Arts, nám. Jana Palacha 1/2, Prague 1, in room 300.
