LAW 7196
Europe and the United States: Fiscal and Political Choices and Economic Consequences

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

The purpose of this course is to examine the political and fiscal choices of Europe and the United States, and examine the economic consequences of them. The books chosen for study will be Boomerang by Michael Lewis, Currency Wars by James Rickards, The New Road to Serfdom by Daniel Hannan and Coming Apart by Charles Murray. One further book may be added. The format for the seminar will be to read the books, discuss them in class, and then write an essay about some aspect of the book being written about. The class will then discuss the various topics suggested by the papers. As Europe is further along the "social democratic path" than the United States, we will examine a number of developments taking place in Europe and seek to understand their implications as they relate to the United States.
