This Course is an offering at the nexus of meta-business, meta-economics, and meta-politics. For instance, business comprises cross-departmental collaboration, but meta-business comprises “efficient” tax-planning; politics comprises ‘regulations’, but meta-politics consists of the ‘revolving door;’ similarly, economics focuses on monopolies and markets, but meta-economics explains ‘under-the-radar monopolies’ and philanthropic (read ‘philanthrocratic’) techniques.

Thus, this Course explores the world beyond the confines of business departments, economic policies, and politicians’ actions, and offers a fresh perspective on how these fields interact at a supra-level. Simply, we focus on industry leaders’ symbiotic relations with regulators, and develop a niche understanding of this 'meta-phenomenon,' one we can use to grasp what is really going on.
