This course is an examination of inequalities of income and wealth, primarily in the U.S., using economic tools of analysis. Topics that will be discussed include: how wealth and poverty are measured, the extent of poverty, competing economic explanations and analyses of the causes of extreme poverty and inequality, the consequences inequality has for the economy, and evaluations of public and private sector responses to poverty. These topics will also allow us to touch on such areas as economics of the family, discrimination, individual vs. systemic causes, and the subjective experience of poverty. Fall.

This course serves as an introduction to economic principles in general as well as macroeconomics in particular. How do we understand the workings of the U.S. economy, in its global context? This course looks at the economy holistically, with an emphasis on its interconnections. We examine the connections between competing economic analyses and competing policy prescriptions to prevent or repair economic problems such as unemployment, inflation, and unsustainable growth - within the context of a rapidly globalizing economy. Prerequisite: MAT 1221 or 1320 or 2021 or equivalent or concurrent enrollment in MAT 2021. ECO 2010 recommended for students with less than a C+ in MAT 1221, 1320, or 2021. Fall.

3.00 Credits
This course surveys economic history for the United States, from the colonial period through the twentieth century. Special attention is given to the institutional basis of U.S. economic society, including slavery, industrial developments, international trade and political developments, and various trends in economic growth, income distribution, and class, gender, and race relations. As much has happened on this continent over the past 400 years, we cannot expect to become experts on all relevant topics, and will thus try to balance our time between the broader narrative of economic history, and in-depth analysis on some specific topics. Spring, even years.

An examination of the role of money in the economy. What is money? How does the federal reserve, our central bank, control monetary conditions? We will scrutinize various theories of inflation and how financial markets affect and respond to changes in the value of money: actual or anticipated. Prerequisite: ECO 2040. Periodically.

3.00 Credits
Students are introduced to a detailed look at resource allocation regimes and funding mechanisms for both 'pure' market-based systems like the U.S. and hybrid administered systems.Using examples we will explore patterns of usually-legislative vote based-resource creation and use. Public investment choice, environmental exploitation and regulatory policy are viewed as 'rational', utility maximizing results from democratic (power-based) politics. Revenue raising,taxation schemes versus user fees are reviewed at the local, federal, and state levels. Major contrasts across broad system types: from mixed or hybrid examples (Japan, France, Sweden), to pure planning (China) will be examined comparatively. Prerequisite: ECO 2120 or permission of instructor. Periodically.

3.00 Credits
Why do we observe differences between women and men in terms of work, income, consumption and ownership of property? Why have these differences varied over time, between countries, and across ethnic groups and social classes? This class draws upon both traditional and critical economic theories and analyses as well as empirical evidence to address these questions and also to evaluate the policy issues surrounding gender-based economic differences. Many of these questions are controversial; no single theory or perspective will be offered as the correct one. Instead, the process developed will be one of critical thinking. The class is expected to be of interest to men as well as to women. Prerequisite: any Economics course is recommended, but not required. Spring, even years.
