Term 2025Z:
The lecture shows economics in a broad perspective that prepares for its further, already more detailed, study. It draws attention to the relationship of economics with other disciplines and addresses problems of an interdisciplinary nature. It shows how economics explains contemporary important problems, especially those of broad economic life, both from an individual (behavioral) perspective, as well as from a local, national, international and global perspective. It uses basic economic models to explain the modern world, including phenomena beyond the economic sphere (imperialism of economics). It illustrates the various viewpoints found in economics. It provides a methodological and philosophical basis for the study of economics. It takes into account institutional and behavioral elements and shows how they coexist with neoclassical economics. It helps to relate economic knowledge to contemporary technological, demographic, environmental, climate and political challenges. It relates the presented knowledge to concrete empirical examples, and addresses topics important in the current public debate. The lecture covers the following topics: 1. What does economics deal with - introduction 2. Methodological basis of economics 3. Micro level: consumer behavior and choice 4. Micro level: markets and organizations 5. Macro level: the state 6. Macro level: international relations and globalization 7. Dilemmas of economics: competition or cooperation, freedom or equality, growth or resilience? Links between individual, organizational, national and global levels. |
