Course Description

This course, we will focus particularly on how we have thought about the problem of how a capitalist economy functions throughout history. Along the way, we'll deal with some thinkers and ideas with which you are surely already somewhat familiar (if only by name and era), like William Stanley Jevons, John Bates Clark, Thorstein Veblen, Irving Fisher, John Maynard Keynes, and Karl Gunnar Myrdal. At the end of the course students will have acquired knowledge and critical understanding of the main currents of economic thought. The course consists of lectures, readings, discussions, identifying actual conditions through academic achievement surveys, two small test with 25 questions and Term-end Exam Paper Review.
