Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Money is one of the most universal institutions. In this seminar we will discuss the nature of money and the historical evolution of payment systems in a global context, cutting across space and time. Our aim is to learn to think critically about payment systems and their economic, social and cultural implications. We will focus on issues such as the role of trust and of social and legal constraints in managing payment systems, on sectional interests surrounding monetary arrangements and on distributional conflicts. Students are expected to make substantial contributions to class discussion on the basis of the reading list and their own original research (to be summarised in a seminar paper, i.e. Proseminararbeit).
Assessment and permitted materials
Students are expected to read all the assigned texts before each class, to actively contribute to class discussion and to write a seminar paper (Proseminararbeit), a draft of which must be presented and discussed with their peers at the end of the course.
