    Civilization, Module One: Hallmarks and Enemies

    Denying the truth of Western superiority means never investigating why the West makes so much more progress than the rest of humanity. It means failing to discover the institutions, principles, and values that underlie the progress that the West has made. It means taking for granted the necessary ingredients for how a society can transform from a worse one to a better one. It means putting those very ingredients at risk in the West, and it means placing them farther out of reach for the non-West than they need to be.   Read: https://conjectureinstitute.org/courses/civilization/Civilization%20Module%201%20Revised.pdf   Visit Conjecture Institute: https://conjectureinstitute.org   Follow Conjecture Institute on X: https://x.com/ConjectureInst

    Economics, Module 0: The Constraints of Personhood

    In explaining the regularities of an economy, of the conditions under which wealth can and cannot grow, we may begin with the fact that man acts purposefully—that is, he employs some scarce means to achieve some desired ends. This is typically called the action axiom, but I prefer to call it the action conjecture. As with many apparently simple principles in science and philosophy, the action conjecture and its logical consequences will take us very far in our journey to explain how wealth is created, how resources are allocated, and how individuals coordinate their idiosyncratic means and ends between each other and with their future selves.   Written version: https://conjectureinstitute.org/courses/economics/Economics%20Module%200.pdf   Discover more course modules: https://conjectureinstitute.org/university/courses
