Course contents :
|
| The course consists of two parts.
The first part provides an introduction to economic analysis. This course differs from traditional teaching of economics in that it does not juxtapose micro and macro-economic theory. It presents the main paradigms of economic analysis (classical, neoclassical, Marxian and Keynesian), positions them in the history of economic thought and clearly underlines their differences.
The second part of the course presents readings in economic and social history of the territories which make up contemporary Belgium from the end of the former economic regime. For each period identified [Industrial Revolution, industrialisation (including the "second industrialisation"), the Interwar period and World War II], the focus is systematically placed on the factors of economic development and the social structuring of the economic space being examined. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Students will be able to identify the underlying theoretical framework in works of economic history which they read and thus to evaluate more accurately the results presented; they will be capable of better understanding the economic and social challenges of more political realities seen in other classes, as well as in the world around them. |
