Knowledge
The aim of the course is to make students to understand how economics has evolved as an independent scientific discipline in which there are differences of opinions on the same economic problems. The development of economic science shows how new hypotheses and theoretical approaches have emerged responding to developments in real economies. Knowledge of the development of economics will help students to understand alternative methodological approaches and their implications, different views on the functioning of the economy and their implications for the development of policy alternatives. Knowledge of the development of economics also contributes to the formation of a systematic approach to economic analysis at the macro and micro levels.
