Wonder:Education Reimagined presents
Many of today’s economic stories seem natural, inevitable—even reassuring. Yet beneath the promises of economic growth, efficiency, success and convenience, they quietly confine us in a velvet cage: a system that feels safe while producing widening inequality, ecological disaster, and collective paralysis.
DISRUPT helps us see the cage we are in.
This course helps you gain Critical Economic Literacy—the ability to recognize the economic ideas shaping our lives and world, question what has become invisible, and imagine alternatives. From that clarity, we begin to practice an Economics of Hope, grounded in regeneration and shared flourishing.
Step out of the cage. Join a growing community of DISRUPTors and regain hope - working collaboratively to bring about change!
DISRUPT is an 8-week, college-level course requiring about 3 hours per week, culminating in a capstone project.

I am beginning to understand that the dominant story behind modern-day economics often presents markets, economic growth, and efficiency as neutral facts or unavoidable goals, rather than as value-based choices that can be questioned, redesigned, or replaced.
Engaging with economics through this lens feels less like learning a technical subject about money and more like the study of human action... it is a reminder that economic literacy asks us to notice whose interests are centered, whose are ignored, and how systems normalise certain outcomes as “just the way things are.”
Framed in this way, economics suddenly feels deeply connected to values, psychology, leadership, climate, justice, and systems change.
This is much closer to the kind of learning that feels meaningful and worth engaging with than how I have previously viewed economics as a subject.

For any teacher seeking to understand the economic forces shaping our world, this course is an outstanding starting point. The course introduces the key concepts in Economics in a meaningful way and also provides a methodology for critically analysing political discourse around the most prevalent economic ideas of our times.
The structure of the course flows smoothly with ideas presented chronologically through a variety of media which stimulate and engage learners and provide the basis for often passionate debate.

I found this the most thought-provoking and enjoyable professional learning I have done in at least the last 5 years and would highly recommend it to all.
