Module INFLUENTIAL IDEAS IN ECONOMICS I

Module code: EC240
Credits: 5
Semester: 1
Department: ECONOMICS
International: No
Coordinator: Dr Gerda Dewit (ECONOMICS)
Overview Overview
 

The course begins with a short exposition of why the history of economic thought matters. Starting with mercantilism, the course then examines the classical economic thinkers (such as Smith, Ricardo and Malthus), after which we turn to Marxist economics and non-mainstream economic thinkers such as Veblen. Subsequently, we study neoclassical economists (e.g., Marshall, Walras), followed by Keynesianism. The course ends by looking at some newer developments in economic thought.
