EC 301 - Economic Thought and Policy

A survey of major schools of economic thought, methods, philosophy, principal developments and debates in economic theory and ensuing policies. Discussion begins with Aristotle, but the emphasis is on developments beginning with political economy and “modern” economics in about 1800. We conclude with an outline of some current trends in economic thought. This course provides the contextual foundation for the discipline by introducing students to economists and their major contributions.
