Accounting 326 - Russia and Eastern Europe:Soviet Economies in Transition

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

This course in Post Soviet Economics is about studying unprecedented historical change in progress in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. One must be a historian, a futurist, a philosopher, a pragmatist, a cynic, and an idealist to divine the essences of a deliberate transition from one a socialist planned economy to a capitalist market economy and from a political dictatorship to an emerging democracy. We will first survey the Russian history before the October Revolution. With this historical context, we can understand the subsequent developments and achievements of the Soviet economic structure and institutional planning arrangements. We will also study economic theories about the transition as well as real world case studies of Russian and Eastern European national strategies, progress, and prospects. Prerequisite: Economics 201 or permission.
