Description:

This course constitutes a comparative study of the interrelationships between political and economic systems in theory and practice. Totalitarianism, authoritarianism, democracy, anarchy, socialism, and communism will be examined in their historical and theoretical contexts and compared with baseline concepts of what constitutes a political system. Economics will be studied from a historical/ developmental approach, examining classical and neoclassical economics and theories of major western economists, including Smith, Marx, and Keynes. Specific nation or area case studies will be used to integrate concepts and to explore possible new global conditions which define the roles of governments and other institutions in the development, planning, and control of economic activities and social policy.
