Introduction to Economic Philosophy
Functioning economies existed for thousands of years before theorists began writing about “the ‘dismal science’ economics.” The science of wealth is still a very young discipline, only a few hundred years old. In this course we will be covering the development of this discipline, and gaining a better understanding of how people believe an economy functions.
