Channel: Liberty.me
Date: 2014-10-17

Science Fiction has long been a favorite genre for liberty-lovers. But can it teach Economics? Enter "Sci-Fi Economics," a four-part original course from Liberty.me LIVE. Instead of assigned (suggested) readings, we'll have "assigned watchings" from your favorite sci-fi TV shows. Professor Lucas Engelhardt, himself a connoisseur of science fiction, will be your guide.

This series begins with "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River," Season 7 Episode 6 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, available free from CBS.com, by subscription through Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video, and Netflix, and for digital purchase from Apple TV and Vudu. Prof. Engelhart uses this episode to discuss the role of money and discuss the relationship between praxeology and fiction.

Enjoyed this episode? Check out the remaining sessions (Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, and more!) in the series, available to subscribers live on Liberty.me!
