THE CURRICULUM: A 10-Week Journey From Compliance to Sovereignty

The Major Casebook is the intellectual backbone of the program. Students debate the forces that shape wealth and power:

• The Subsidy Trap – dependence vs. resilience
   
• Ownership vs. Employment – wages vs. equity
   
• Narrative as Capital – who owns the story, owns the value
   
• Platforms & Power – creators vs. extractors
   
• Legacy & Sovereignty – building what lasts
   

This is where students begin to think like strategists, not spectators.

Fast, relatable scenarios bring capitalism into daily life. Students grapple with choices like:

• Working shifts vs. building a side hustle
   
• Renting an apartment vs. buying a duplex
   
• Exposure vs. equity in creative work
   
• College debt vs. launching a venture
   

Students learn to weigh trade-offs the way investors and founders do — through ROI and opportunity cost.

A weekly guided journal of reflections, mantras, and structured activities. Students document growth, prepare for debates, and craft their legacy statements.

This is where concepts become personal strategy.
