【Course Objectives】

The objective of this seminar is for students to acquire a theoretical foundation of political economy and to foster the ability to think critically about contemporary social problems.

【Course Contents】

The pillar of the seminar is reading theoretical works of political economy to gain a theoretical foundation of political economics and then to use this to consider contemporary social problems.
Political economy is different from the methodology of economics (so-called “modern economics”) and is a current of economics with the feature of looking historically and holistically at economic systems. Representative of this is Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital,” and the Marxist economics that formed from this thought.
Another pillar of the seminar is thinking about contemporary social problems and conducting theoretical analysis of specific social problems, such as the income gap, poverty, labor problems, and environmental problems, or social problems like neoliberalism.
