Description

The process of economic development is never smooth. It is associated with profound changes in the fundamental structure of economic society. The rate of growth and development varies substantially between different economies. The course seeks to explain the factors that determine how societies grow and develop, with special emphasis on the role of technology and finance. Various approaches will be examined, and attention will be paid to problems associated with growth, including those relating to equity and human rights issues.
