Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to basic economic theories that were discussed during the European history. Part of the course is to read the original texts on which topics are discussed.
After completing the course, the student will characterize the main stages and directions of the development of economic thought from the Reformation to the emergence of classical political economy and explain their connection with the religious, political and social changes of the early modern period. He/She will analyze the basic ideas of mercantilism, cameralism, physiocratism and selected representatives of early modern economic thought and will be able to place them in a broader historical and intellectual context.
