Instructor: Martin Kenney
Description
This course aims to increase your understanding of the political economy of regions in today’s globalized economy. My goal is to encourage you to think about the operation of capitalist economies in a global perspective and to highlight some of the critical forces shaping regions. After this class, I hope you will have better insights into the headlines that you read every day. This seems particularly important today as the U.S. and, indeed, the global economy still suffers from a relative lack of high-quality jobs and severe inequality.
