Great Ideas in Economics
Great Ideas in Economics The current 4th industrial revolution is changing lives in mundane and profound ways. The set of cooperative and competing interactions among humans, machines, and nature will shape lives in ways that we have just begun to comprehend. There has been “production, buying, selling, and trading” of goods and services since time immemorial –- why then does the formal study of “economics” as a discipline start only from around the 17th century with the onset of the 1st Industrial Revolution? This course introduces students to our most influential economists, their ideas, and their impact upon economics, policy, and intellectual history. We will engage in serious thinking, writing, and discussion about the great economics questions of our age.

Although he tends to ramble a bit, Professor Ramaswamy is an incredibly passionate and thorough instructor whose occasionally meandering tone can sometimes distract from his interest in not only the material but also in his students learning the material. He is incredibly understanding and I would highly recommend getting to know him if you take one of his courses.
Great professor and good course. Prof has a great ability to repeat important information throughout lectures. This creates a line throughout the mateial. Sometimes his lecturing method can be quite boring.
Sunder is a great teacher, He is super knowledgable on the subject, and is a great advisor. He is the man! i would defiantly take this course if you have no background in econ and would like to know the basics abt economics
Great experience, and an overall interesting class but sometimes essay prompts are too general. I would recommend this class if you plan to major in Economics. This class is about the history of economic thought
