This course presents a critical interpretation of the Great Reset as an interconnected economic, political, environmental, and technological program. It begins by tracing the initiatives, institutions, simulations, and public rhetoric that the instructor argues preceded its COVID-era launch. The course then examines stakeholder capitalism and ESG investing as mechanisms linking corporate power, state priorities, and capital allocation. Its historical analysis follows Malthusian population theory into modern language of development, rights, family planning, sustainability, and international policy. A skeptical assessment of climate catastrophism considers disputed scientific claims, institutional incentives, energy choices, and arguments for global coordination. Two lectures explore Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, including connected bodies, digital identity, programmable currency, augmented reality, the metaverse, artificial intelligence, and transhumanism, with attention to privacy, autonomy, surveillance, and exclusion. The concluding lecture organizes the instructor’s proposed “Grand Refusal” around technological nonparticipation, parallel institutions, redirected investment, political pressure, and greater independence.
