Economics of Power and Inequality is a 0.25 unit student-led reading and discussion course open to economics majors/minors as well as students of other social science disciplines. The course surveys the power hierarchies and issues of inequality that are a part of the relationship between people and economic structures in the U.S. context and broadens learning to other countries as often as possible. Weekly meetings are required to promote attentive learning and reflection. Students delve into topics across subdisciplines in economics and political economy; as such they should complete ECON 101 prior to or concurrently with this course, or receive permission of the instructor to enroll.
