We are assembled here on the lawn of Planet Money University for the greatest graduation in history – because it features the greatest economic minds in history. We’ll hear from Adam Smith, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, and some surprising guests as they teach us a little bit more economics, and offer a lot of life advice.
But first, we have to wrap up our (somewhat) complete economic history of the world. We’ll catch up on the last fifty years or so of human achievement and ask ourselves, has economics made life better for us all?
And then take the quiz and get your diploma!
Tag us on social media when you post your diploma so we can celebrate with you! We’re @planetmoney on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
