Contents

With the idea that processes of production, exchange and distribution may be understood as a system of interdependent relationships, economics became an object of study in its own right in the eighteenth century. In the course of time, different views have been developed about these interrelations and processes. In this course, we will roam through the history of economic thought on the basis of different topics to explore those different views. We follow how, influenced by societal developments, debate on those topics has progressed through time, reflecting changes in problem definitions and theoretical views.
