Bachelor of Arts in Politics, Philosophy and Economics Onsite

I’ve often wondered where I come from, where I’m going and what “binds creation’s inmost energies”. I’m interested in economics – but not the kind that is limited exclusively to mathematics, strives for-profit, and leaves people out with its complex needs for simple cost/benefit analyses.

I’ve always wondered why it’s always economists that tell us about crises in the media and philosophers are never asked for a solution. I wonder whether our politicians have ever read Hobbes, Marx, or Kierkegaard. I don’t want to choose between a world of numbers and one of words and deeds.

I long for answers to the questions about the equitable coexistence of fair trade and fair society reforms and often only find criticism of the thinkers’ and philosophers’ suggestions. I’m interested in politics as a practical tool of reason and am fascinated by the differences in cultures that clash with the globalization of economies.

I also wonder if there’s an economic system that doesn’t have a long-term effect of destroying the planet. Maybe there’s a different approach that brings prosperity for all and is an alternative to what we already have.
