Political Economy: Government and Business

Undergraduate

This course introduces students to the field of political economy. We examine different perspectives on how capitalist economies function and have evolved over time. The course begins with the interaction of states (government) and markets (business), and then develops models to incorporate dimensions of gender, race, culture, and environment into our understanding of the production and distribution of wealth. Prerequisite(s): Second-year standing (i.e., >24h completed).
