This course examines the interrelationship between law and economic thought. Through a historical account of the evolution of economic ideas in relation to law, as well as narrative accounts of contemporary legal and economic intersections, students will reflect on theory through consideration of practical examples. The impact of domestic notions of law and economic thought on global and international economics will be a primary consideration in the case studies considered. This course is an elective in the Law and Society major. This course is highly recommended as a starting point for students interested in further coursework in Law & Society electives in the category of “Globalization and Sustainability.”
