This course aims to provide a working knowledge of the global economy and the conceptual toolkit necessary to address some of the pressing economic issues of today. In the first part of the course, we will focus on the economy itself -- its scope, its measurement, its institutional structures, its governance, and its evolution in a national and international context. In the second part of the course, we will examine the competing analytical theories of the determination of economic activity, international trade and growth, and how these have informed modern policy debates at home and abroad. Throughout the course, we will address the various specific challenges that national governments and international organizations face at every turn, and evaluate the arguments and methods by which they have proposed to resolve them.
