Topic: Entrepreneurship, Economic Development and Public Policy. Entrepreneurship does not flourish in every society. What is the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development? What legal, political and economic structures must be in place in order for entrepreneurship to thrive? Using case studies and comparative methodologies, this course will examine legal and political systems, as well as social and cultural practices, in the context of their contribution or deterrent to entrepreneurship and corresponding economic development. Examples of the concepts discussed would include religious tolerance, civil liberties, private property and the rule of law. Studies of more developed nations will inquire into the effects of taxes, tort law, regulatory and trade policies. With respect to developing nations, special attention will be paid to theories about the exportability and/or modifiability of principles and practices viewed as essential to entrepreneurship, as well as its role in alleviating poverty and political oppression. Readings will include works by Schumpeter, Rand, Keynes, Galbraith, Sowell, Williams and Norberg, among others. Sophomores will be allowed to register with consent of the instructor.
