Course Description
In this course, we study the "universality and diversity of capitalism" in more detail by learning several case studies in the western economic history.
The format of this course is mainly “lecture”, but students will take the monthly (three times) “review tests” and participate in “group discussions” to develop the abilities of communication and presentation, which are essential for university students.
This course is related to Diploma Policy 2 of Department of Regional Economics, Faculty of Economics.
