ECO 2040 - Macroeconomics in a Global Context

3 cr

This course serves as an introduction to economic principles in general as well as macroeconomics in particular. How do we understand the workings of the U.S. economy, in its global context? This course looks at the economy holistically, with an emphasis on its interconnections. We examine the connections between competing economic analyses and competing policy prescriptions to prevent or repair economic problems such as unemployment, inflation, and unsustainable growth – within the context of a rapidly globalizing economy.
Prerequisite: MAT 1221 or MAT 1320 or MAT 2021 or equivalent or concurrent enrollment in MAT 2021 .
