History of Economic Thought

Summary

The course guides students through the development of Western economic thought from antiquity to the present. The course follows a chronological approach and adheres to the mainstream of economic thought as it is understood today, although selected heterodox approaches are not omitted. Attention is also paid to the broader methodological context of the theories and concepts discussed, as well as the cultural, social and economic realities of the time.
