Spring 2024 - 59745 - PA 393H - International Economics

INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS-WB
This class will cover a number of  major issues in international economic policy, organized loosely into three categories: trade, finance and development.   My approach is eclectic, historical, institutional and evolutionary; my belief is that underlying current policy debates is a long sequence of economic systems, ideologies, arguments and struggles.  We will touch on some of the classic sources, including Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Schumpeter and Keynes, and build from there. This is a class primarily for first year students. No prior exposure to economics is required or assumed. An indicative list of themes follows; the course is a work-in-progress and these topics are neither exhaustive nor exclusive.
