This course should help better understand in terms of economic development where this country has come from, and therefore, better understand the present. You will get to know some of the heroes and some of the rogues that make this subject so interesting. The subject of money excites some people -- and the story of the people involved makes for exciting reading as well. The causes of economic booms and busts will be covered, as well as some labor history and the role of unions, their origins and purposes.
