The History of Economic Thought

My Course at UNC-Greensboro: I teach the History of Economic Thought (ECO 555) at UNC-Greensboro every fall. In the class we examine the ideas of such seminal thinkers as Adam Smith, T. Robert Malthus, Karl Marx, Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, and Friedrich Hayek, as well as the times in which they wrote. The course enrolls both advanced undergraduates as well as masters students. For undergraduates it fulfills both the Writing Intensive and Speaking Intensive for the economics major. To learn more about how the class is structured go here. For more on speaking and writing components of the class, go here, here, and here. Another important web-site for Writing and Speaking Intensive courses is the UNCG site on Communication Across the Curriculum. I also frequently provide handouts for the course. To see these, go here.

Resources for the History of Economic Thought: I have compiled a handout for my classes that should be helpful for those who wish to investigate a topic in the history of economic thought. To see the handout, go here.
