If I had to design an economics course despite being a pretty left leaning person, I'd feel an obligation to include everything you might find in a "Econ 101" courses at high schools or colleges. I'd want primary sources, interesting experts, questions that illustrate the central questions.
I'd insist that the students do something creative with what they learn to gain ownership of the material.
I don't consider myself qualified to design an economics course but I could easily do a better job.
