Course overview
Global capitalism, while providing massive economic growth and wealth, has also put profits before the people. It has ensued toxic consumption practices and neglected our planet’s needs. The rightful answer to this is sustainable development, which focuses on starting a new world order to replace global capitalism’s vices, ensuring human well-being, development, and environmental security. If you want to learn about this, then edX’s Sustainable Development: The Post-Capitalist Order programme is perfect.
