This course provides an elementary but systematic introduction to micro- and macroeconomic ideas as well as to their applications in historical explanations. Diligent and interested students will learn to make sense of and evaluate the background, achievements, main criticism and developments of those ideas. It provides an analytical and modern introduction to classical, neoclassical, keynesian, and monetarist ideas as well as to theories later developed. Although historically oriented this course provides an analytic and elementary introduction to modern economics.
Method
Teaching consists of one unbroken 90 minute unit weekly. Students have the possibility to prepare for each meeting on the basis of relevant literature provided in advance. Participants are welcome to participate in discussions.
