My Cause

A cause I am interested in supporting and learning more about is the Acumen Fund - a non-profit global venture fund that uses entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of global poverty. I could speak with the the program's founder and chief executive, Jacqueline Novogratz.

Goals

From this class, I hope to learn more about the way common economics systems (capitalism, socialism, and communism) work and how they affect the average citizen. I would also like to better understand the stock market.
