Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the development of economic thought from the emergence of modern political economy and classical economics to contemporary economic theories and major debates. The course loosely follows KAE/EM1 Economic Thinking 1, which is taught in the ZS. The course includes reading original texts on the basis of which the topics are discussed.
After completing the course, the student will characterize and explain the main directions and stages of the development of economic thought from Adam Smith to the present day and be able to place individual economic schools in their historical and intellectual context. He/she will compare basic theoretical approaches and critically evaluate their assumptions, benefits and limits in explaining key economic problems and contemporary economic debates.
