تاريخ الفكر الاقتصادي

The study of economic thought's history includes using directed works that allow students to investigate and research all eras of Development in Economic Ideas. These directed works include developing an understanding of the theoretical and intellectual foundations of the economic development within a social, political, and cultural context. Directed works let graduate students gain skills for conducting critical analyses and an in-depth understanding of the ideas behind many of the economic concepts.
     The directed studies will consist of a number of coordinated sessions covering major schools of thought and significant thinkers in economics. The main topics include Commercial Thought, The Physiocrates’ Naturalistic School of Thought, Classical Economics, French Socialism, Marx, The German Historical School, The Marginal and Neo-Classical Schools, and Keynesian and Post-Keynesian Economics. In addition, students’ abilities to participate in group discussions and engage in critical thinking will be cultivated through the development of a strong link between theory and its application to their day-to-day lives as well as the original writings of the economists being studied.
