What is Sociology and why should we study it? This short video from Macat explains how the subject has developed over the years and introduces some of the key ideas and major thinkers who have helped to shape it in only a few minutes.

How did differences in religious views lead to the development of capitalism? Could the beliefs of certain Protestant sects drive these people to work harder than others and earn more money, thereby fueling the rise of this new economic force?

This week we'll see how economies can be broken down into the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors. We'll look at the three stages of economic revolution that brought us to the modern post-industrial era. We'll also explore two types of economic models: capitalism and socialism.
