History of Economic Thought

The objective of this senior level course is to provide the student an opportunity

to integrate studies of economics in a historical perspective.  

Students will reflect on the standard economic orthodox analytical apparatus

 (e.g., production functions, cost curves, indifference maps, macroeconomic models, etc.)

 and understand its emergence and evolution in a historical context.  

Students will read, discuss, and synthesize works of the giants of Economics,

 including Smith, Malthus, Ricardo, Mill, Marx, Marshall, Walras, Keynes, and many others.
