About the course
Aim
After completion of the course the student will be able to:
- identify and describe different cultural and theoretical perspectives on the human as an economic agent
- account for cultural differences between different economic systems
- account for how conceptions of individuality, status and different economic systems interact and shape each other
- apply a critical analytical cultural perspective on the study of society
Content
The course explores global cultural perspectives on human beings as economic agents and how economic systems are embedded in social and cultural structures. Concepts of rationality and ‘homo economicus’ are critically analyzed and global financial markets as well as local non-monetary economies are studied. Much fucus is placed on applying critical perspectives in the cultural analysis of different societies.
