Course Content (Syllabus)
We study the way in which the various schools of economic thought from the time of the early, classical scholars perceive (consciously or not) human, his motives, aspirations and behavior, before the generalization of the bourgeois revolution in Europe. Thereby we reveal the ideological background and social interests that lead to the one approach or the other. In the second part of the course, the participants critically approach the previous schemes and, realizing the peculiarities of the modern era, they discuss how these form different motives and behaviors of humans as socioeconomic agents.
