The aim of this course is to introduce students to the history of economic ideas on an introductory level. Although historical this course is analytical as economic theories are regarded as suggested solutions to particular problems. Accordingly, the history of economic ideas is discussed in terms of problem situations, problems, and solutions and not in terms of psychological influences. Much emphasis will be placed on problems regarding the explanatory power of economic theories and that scientific progress in economics is adequately described as a development process of conjectures and refutations. Diligent students will learn to make sense and evaluate the theoretical and historical background, as well as the achievements and main criticisms of important economic theories developed in the 19th and 20th century.Methods
Teaching consists of one unbroken 90-minute seminar; discussion of different text passages which have to be prepared on the basis of questions distributed in advance for every meeting; presentation and discussion of answers for every meeting.
