Historical and Institutional Economics Study + Internship in London: CEA London Center - OLD Program Spring 2017 Semester

This module explores the institutional features of a modern political economy, particularly the role of the state and the market, capital and labour. But these are viewed from the perspective of change in which institutions and laws have evolved from the past and continue to change into the future. There has been continual evolution of the economy along with revolutionary transformations in technology and social organisation. The module will consider a variety of perspectives including exposure to some of the great thinkers in economic and political economy and engage is seminal debates around the role of the state and inequality.

This module will also be a vehicle for the further development of the personal development planning and will encourage students to identify their goals and reflect on their learning through participation in a structured process working towards their assessments via the seminars.
