BUS200: Special Topics in Economics: Economic Thought and Controversy

This will be one of the few units in economics that will acquaint you with the breadth and diversity of economic schools and thought. It will force you to think at three levels: (1) what are the differences in facts and methods covered by each school; (2) what are the most important questions asked, and answers given, to issues and problems; and (3) what is the epistemology of each school.
