Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide an overview of the evolution of economic thought. Ideas change in this world—and this is true for science, and even more so for economic science. The course is therefore designed to offer a comprehensive framework of these ideas, organized into schools of thought and connected both to historical developments and to current issues. In doing so, it reaffirms a fundamental and pedagogically essential teaching principle—far from abstract: nothing is as powerful in changing the world as ideas.
