ECO 710 History of Economic Thought
The course covers the evolution of economic thought from Ancient Greece into the 20th century. The course will focus particularly on the rise of political economy in Great Britain during the nineteenth century, and its effects on economic thought and debates in the 20th century across the globe. Our readings of original texts and contemporary scholarship in the history of economic thought will highlight the ways in which the ideas of the long since dead relate to the world we live in today.
