【Course Objectives】

This is a research seminar in which students will become familiar with the basic literature on which economics was built while also looking at the history of economics and thinking about the contemporary issues faced by economics. The objective of this seminar is for students to not only learn about the economy from textbooks, but to think about the economy on their own, to identify problems facing the economy on their own, and to develop the ability to think about solutions for these.

【Course Contents】

This seminar students will read various fundamental literature on which economics was built (Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, Thomas Robert Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population, Walter Bagehot's Lombard Street, and John Stewart Mill's On Liberty, etc.) while thinking about the formation and purpose of economics. In the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021, we have been reading Keynes's General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. During the current academic year as well, students will read fundamental literature on economics during the spring semester and learn about contemporary issues facing economics during the fall semester. Further, during the fall semester students will give research reports for presentations at the counter seminars with other universities. Finally, almost every hour of the seminar, we plan to create time to increase your debate ability to make your own presentation more effective.
