233 years after Adam Smith, social scientists are still asking this
fundamental question. Jared Diamond answered that national wealth is a
consequence of “Guns, Germs, and Steel.” This class will explore these ideas
and economic principles so that students will appreciate and understand how
fortunate they are to live in a prosperous society. Teachers will learn

the development of market economies that have contributed so much to
