Course Content (Syllabus)
We study the way in which the various schools of economic thought approach, perceive and study the process of forming groupings and collectives. Collectives that are directly or indirectly related to and involved in economic development, and which are more or less institutionalized / legally guaranteed: from the concept of class and the (economic) "layer" to the trade unions, the companies or the cooperatives. In this course, participants compare different approaches to how people form collectives, especially those that are financial in nature or targeted. In the last part of the course, we will study the modern systemic micro- and macro-mutations and how they relate to the phenomenon of "collectivity".
