Economics 775 - Comparative Capitalisms

This is a course in comparative capitalism. It will review important debates and frameworks that have been advanced to understand the variations in the economic systems of different capitalist economies. We will review some classical work from Marx and Weber, as well as the distinction between liberal, coordinated and state-led systems. We will examine a number of case-studies, including the U.S., Sweden, France, Japan, South Korea and Russia.

Open to Graduate students only.
