Political Economy
Program Information
Political Economy introduces students to the competing approaches to understanding the operation of a modern market economy. Unlike traditional economics programs, which are mathematically orientated, Political Economy takes a historical perspective and focuses on the application of principles to the 'real' world. Political Economy also exposes students to a diverse range of ideas that compete for support, rather than a set of uncontroversial principles. As such, the study of Political Economy draws on many of the other social sciences, while providing students with critical skills sought by employers.
