Required Text: Comparative Economic Systems, ( David Kennett/H. Stephen Gardner), Cengage Learning, 5191 Natorp Boulevard, Mason, Ohio, 45040, USA, ISBN 13: 978-1-285-91771-9; ISBN 10: 1-285-91771-5. Cengage Learning, 2013.
Course Objectives: An economic system is a set of institutional arrangements that constrain, coordinate, and facilitate the economic activities of a society, and these systems can vary widely. Comparative Economic Systems develop a framework in which to study the origin, structure, problems, and performance of various economic systems. Two major and competing economic systems that have existed over most of the past century have been the systems of market and centrally planned economies. This course will spend time looking at different variations and combinations of these economic systems. The collapse of Soviet Union as well as its centrally planned/administrative command economy in 1991, has also led to a host of new questions and new problems of comparative economic performance of countries which will also be explored within our comparative framework.
Why is the Swedish welfare state system undergoing changes, moving somewhat away from extreme of egalitarian social democracy toward a less interventionist paradigm? Is there a conflict between the EU interventionist concept of government-business
