Economics is moral reasoning about scarcity, incentives, justice, and calling — with real tools, not slogans. The primary Academy product is a sequential 16-week course: eight weeks of microeconomics (Module A) followed by eight weeks of macroeconomics (Module B). An 8-week history-shaped survey remains available for single-semester co-ops.
