Course Description
This course examines how political and economic institutions alter economic outcomes. The primary categories are planned and market socialism, and capitalism. The capitalist category is subdivided into the Anglo-Saxon model, European model, and Asian model. For each of the models we will examine the following characteristics: constitutional foundation, income security provided to workers, flexibility of labor markets, corporate governance, and capital markets. An examination of the economic performance of specific countries will be used to investigate whether different models tend to be more successful in achieving the goals of economic growth, low unemployment, and income security. We will also discuss the economic successes and failures of countries that have tried to transition from one model to another.
