The course delves into the core concepts of economics with a focus tailored for the humanities student. It offers a nuanced understanding of how economic theory can be useful for understanding cultural, historical, and societal contexts.
Through a blend of lectures and discussions, we'll address questions such as: Where do prices come from and how do they influence people's behavior? How does a market economy work? How is economic growth relevant for understanding the social world around us? This course invites you to explore these questions, providing a foundation in economic principles while maintaining a critical, interdisciplinary perspective. Prior experience in economics is not required – just an open mind and an eagerness to engage with complex, cross-disciplinary issues.
