Contemporary Economic History 2012 -2013: The Ghost of Capitalism

This year’s course aims to focus on those historical facts and theories which attest a progressive decline of institutions and economic policies inspired by the traditional sight of capitalism both as competitive market ruled by law and as the most efficient mean to promote collective interests.
At this purpose the course is shaped on two main approaches: 1. the development of economic theory since the death of John Maynard Keynes until Paul Krugman’s International Economics; 2. economic development in leading countries since the post-war era to 2010. This double approach rests on the idea that economic theories and economic facts are not separable and that there is no critical understanding of economic processes without historical comparison. Students are expected to attend and participate in lectures.
The course is coordinated by Sergio Noto, who will lecture 42 hours (7 ECTS). Remaining ECTS (12 hours) will be taught by Andrea Caracausi.
