CURRENT ISSUES IN ECONOMICS

Course Description

This course is part of the concentration in politics, philosophy and economics but is open to other students who have taken basic courses in economics. The aspiration of the course is to use theoretical concepts from economics, political science and philosophy to analyze real-world problems and evaluate a range of politically acceptable policy options to deal with them. Our fundamental questions will be: Why are things the way they are? What would make them better? What are the institutional and political impediments to change? How should we balance the trade-off between fairness and efficiency, liberty and need for collective action, self-reliance and mutual support? Topics in this course include the sources of economic growth, income inequality and poverty, health care, financial crises, and taxes.
