The goal of this course is to gain a broad perspective on the history of the economies of the U.S./Western Europe, the former Soviet Union and the developing world by comparing the economic and political institutions that have emerged in each. A historical look at the economic arguments for markets and planning provides the theoretical framework for detailed exploration of the ongoing evolution of capitalism, the rise and fall of socialism (and current attempts at reform) in Russia and other countries, and the influence that both systems, along with colonialism, have had on the economic development of the rest of the world. The focus is on the relationships among the kinds of institutions societies adopt, the processes by which those institutions emerge and the economic consequences that follow. Majors in other social sciences or area studies programs are encouraged to enroll. Prerequisite: Economics 100. Also offered through Global Studies.
