ECON 222-224: Economics in Cambridge Program
Instructors: Michael HemesathEconomics
Summer 2012
Founded in 1983, the Economics Seminar in Cambridge has been located at the University of Cambridge for over 25 years. The University has been home to many great economic theorists including Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, and F.A. Hayek. Being in Britain allows students to study the contemporary British economy, the European Union and the Industrial Revolution. The program has become a popular part of the economics curriculum at Carleton, and the faculty believes the seminar's historical focus and exposure to British culture help students see themselves, their country, and the world with new perspective.
