Overview
The Age of Economists - Globalization, Growth and Inequalities course offered at Sciences Po is an overview of how economic thought has risen over the centuries, and how since WWII, it has influenced neighbouring disciplines such as political philosophy, common law, political science, sociology, and psychology.
Objectives
Each course will be devoted to a theme and a select number of authors. Economic news and current events in the largest sense will be mobilized to emphasize the longevity of our subject.
We will use case studies, whether historical, experimental, or empirical, to engage discussion and show how the history of economic thought shaped - if not totally constructed - some of our most important contemporary debates (the undesirability of inequalities, the value of globalization, the commodification of human interaction, etc.).
Dialogue will be encouraged. Teamwork and innovation will be put at a premium during the collective assignments. Each group of five students will research a given subject. Form and substance will both be graded.
