| Course Description |
The course aims to develop skills that will be useful to the economist in his or her wider career in business, academia, government or consulting. The course discusses a range of issues concerning the assumptions and status of economics (methodology), and about its applicability to a range of controversial materials (e.g. commodification of the human body, application of economic approaches to the understanding of politics). These are intended to be interesting in themselves, but also give students experience in discussing issues that may be raised about their work when they interact with non-economists. |
