Syllabus:

One of the key and enduring issues in public policy is to determine the roles of the market and government in meeting society's needs. This course will examine - the efficiency of markets in allocating resources, the circumstances in which markets might fail to be efficient, the case for and against government intervention in markets, and modes of intervention by government in the market. The context will be how welfare and economic justice is served through the balance between the market and government.
