ECO 1010 - Economics and Society

3 cr
An introductory course focused upon the evolution of western market systems. We start with the nature of the local economy in the middle ages. From those origins in feudal society sprang mercantilism and ultimately capitalism. What facets of early trading systems survive; what were jettisoned? How has the evolved system acted upon the wider socio-political realm and in turn been shaped by the political choices history throws up?
This course fulfills the Social and Behavioral Understanding Frame of Reference.
