Should the federal government more forcefully engage health care issues, or are its current obligations a hidden time bomb facing the federal budget? Should we be concerned about the outsourcing of U.S. jobs? Is the minimum wage too low, or will increases in the minimum simply lead to greater unemployment? Students will engage these and other pressing issues, write position papers advocating specific actions that governments or firms should take, and debate these recommendations. While economic theory is not the centerpiece of this course, students will learn enough economic theory to be able to discuss policy in an informed manner. They will also be introduced to important sources of “economic” information, from government web sites to major publications. Note: This course fulfills the U.S. Society (GU) requirement for students under GenEd and American Culture (AC) for students under Core. Students cannot receive credit for ECON 0858 if they have successfully completed SOC 0858.

Students will study the transformation of Russian society and the Russian economy, focusing on the 20th and 21st centuries. We will closely examine Russian economic transitions from a market to a planned economy (in the 1920s and 1930s) and from a planned economy back to a market economy (after 1991), as well as analyses of the Russian economy and society in periods of great stress (civil war, collectivization, famine, terror, war and occupation, arms race). We will also read memoirs and works of prose fiction and watch films in order to learn about the consequences of economic decisions on the lives of actual Russian citizens. The course will culminate with interviews with Russian businessmen visiting the United States.
