This subject introduces you to the disciplines of politics, philosophy, and economics (PPE). Learn how influential theories and concepts from each discipline can illuminate different aspects of a particular problem. You will use PPE perspectives to analyse markets, inequality, environmental degradation, educational opportunity, and discrimination. This is a core subject for students in La Trobe's Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE), but it is also open and accessible to any student seeking an introduction to these three disciplines (politics, philosophy, and economics) and their intersecting application to real-world challenges. Students from all campuses can take this subject online, with the option of a face-to-face tutorial at the Bundoora campus. Students enrolled in the Bachelor of PPE or Law/PPE should choose the face-to-face tutorial.
