Markets and the State -- HASS-D
This subject addresses the evolution of the modern capitalist economy
and evaluates its current structure and performance. Various paradigms
of economics are contrasted and compared (neoclassical, Marxist,
socioeconomic, and neocorporate) in order to understand how modern
capitalism has been shaped and how it functions in today's economy.
Readings include classics in economic thought as well as contemporary
analyses. Subject stresses general analytic reasoning and problem
formulation rather than specific analytic techniques. May not be used
for Economics concentration, minor, or major. M. Piore
