See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject introduces you to the disciplines of Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE). Develop your knowledge of political institutions and their history. Learn how influential political philosophers think about justice. Advance your understanding of how economists study human behaviour through the lens of incentives. And then apply approaches from each PPE discipline to analyse topics that may include: trade, economic inequality, citizenship, educational opportunity, inheritance and carbon taxes. You will learn how each discipline illuminates very different aspects of these topics, with useful implications for policy-making.
