ECON-350 Comparative Economic Systems 4 0 0 4<br />
Prerequisite: ECON-201<br />
Capitalism, Socialism, Communism and other “isms” that have occupied the<br />
history of mankind have all claimed to hold the key to a more rational social<br />
order and a better economic future for mankind. Comparative economic<br />
systems set the stage for a comparison of contemporary nation-states in terms<br />
of national economic goals, the mechanisms chosen for attaining these goals,<br />
and the extent of success in matching means and ends. This course includes<br />
pure capitalism as an economic system. This will be followed by mixed<br />
economies. Countries to be studied under mixed economies include the U.S.,<br />
United Kingdom, Germany, and France. In looking at the consequences of<br />
socialism as an economic system, countries to be studied include the Russian<br />
Federation, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania. Finally,<br />
problems of the less developed countries will be analyzed including India,<br />
Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, and Guinea. Emphasis will be put on<br />
economic decision making processes in all the contemporary economic<br />
systems. Terms Offered: All<br />
