About this subject
This 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. This is a core subject for students in La Trobe's Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE), but it is also open to students who want to understand how these three PPE disciplines can be applied to real-world challenges. The subject is available in face-to-face or online mode. This is a level 1 subject. This subject includes live sessions with the expectation of student attendance and participation.
