Here at Consilience: Prosperity and Posterity, we -- Owen, Norian, and Chris -- will synthesize elements of political science, moral philosophy, economics, geography, and biology with the hope that our findings in each field will complement the others.
This blog will run parallel to the political science course in which we are enrolled, POLS1150: "Prosperity: The Ethics and Economics of Wealth Creation," taught by John Tomasi, Jason Brennan, and Mark Koyama. Most of the issues we will tackle here find their origins in our course. We will look at questions like:
- "Why do some societies grow rich while others remain poor?"
- "What does it take to deserve to succeed?"
- "Is prosperity good for humans?"
- "What is fairness?"
Stay tuned! The thought-fest will kick off shortly.
