DESCRIPTION
The course will provide an opportunity for better understanding how economic theories have dealt with major economic issues, especially growth, technology and innovation, unemployment and the role of the state in the economy. The main purpose is to acquaint the student with a comparative approach to a wide, although inevitably selected set of major theories in the history of economic thought. The period considered covers almost two centuries, but with a more specific focus on the last one hundred years, in the attempt to show that economics as it exists today is a relatively recent acquisition, and that it does not take to go very far in time to show that economics has underwent a process of significant change before becoming what it is today.
