Add a course on public choice economics
Please add a course on public choice economics. There's an excellent list of MRU courses for learning to think like an economist. But strongly believe another function of these courses could/should be to make us better, more knowledgeable citizens regarding public policy issues. And that means we need a course in public choice economics — "politics without the romance" — i.e., what economic analysis can tell us about the political decision-making process. That way we'll be better able to determine whether free-market or government-driven solutions would likely work better for addressing particular issues. And we'll each have a better "BS detector" for understanding what politicians and partisans tell us about issues — much of which is clearly at odds with the basic economics taught in other MRU courses!

Adding a course on Public Choice Economics can enrich academic programs by exploring the intersection of economics and political science. This discipline examines how self-interest, incentives, and institutions influence political decision-making and public policies. It helps students understand governance, collective action, and economic outcomes. Public Choice Economics is vital for policymakers, economists, and political analysts, as it offers insights into voting behavior, bureaucratic dynamics, and resource allocation. Including this course promotes critical thinking and prepares students for roles in policy design and analysis.
