Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
quality of talk; written answers to questions; contributions to discussions in class.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the wide ranging problems and controversies in the history of economic ideas. Although this course is an introduction to the history of economic ideas it is mainly analytic and aims at providing an understanding of how problem situations, problems and tentative solutions have developed in the history of economic ideas. Diligent students will learn to make sense of and evaluate the historical background, achievements, main criticism and later developments of those controversies which implicitly still cover much ground in temporary discussions. Issues regarding scientific progress such as the problem solving capacity of economic theories will be discussed as well.
Examination topics
Teaching consists in one unbroken 90-minute meeting. Students are required to prepare texts for each meeting on the basis of questions distriibuted in advance. and to contribute in a lively manner to discussions at all classes. The questions distributed in advance have to be answered in writing and have to be handed in advance of the meetings in question. In order to start discussions students are required to prepare one very brief talk on the basis of their written answers
