ECON 43110 - History of Economic Thought

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Economics

Description:

This course is the seminar version of ECON 40110. The course intends to ask how it is that we have arrived at this curious configuration of doctrines now called "economics"; and importantly, how differing modes of historical discourse tend to ratify us in our prejudices about our own possible involvement in this project. The course will begin in the 18th century with the rise of a self-conscious discipline, and take us through the stabilization of the modern orthodoxy in WWII. Effort will be made to discuss the shifting relationship of economics to the other sciences,natural and social. A basic knowledge of economics (including introductory economics and preferably intermediate economics) will be presumed.
