ECON 367 - Comparative Economics

A study of different economic systems and institutions, beginning with a comparison of industrialized market economies in the U.S., Asia, and Europe.

Alternatives to both market and planned systems - such as worker self-management, market socialism, and social democracy - are also explored with emphasis on the experience of Yugoslavia and Sweden. Mr. Kennett.
