About this course
Learn to view economic questions in their social and political context, and from different perspectives through the Graduate Diploma in Political Economy. You will gain a deep understanding of issues such as power and inequality, globalisation and its impact on national economic policy settings, and the trade-offs between the free market and broader social concerns.
