Economic Thought
Objective: Students will be able to trace the origins of economic thought in the ancient world and its
influence on subsequent schools of thought, including the scholastics and the emergence of early modern
(Classical) economics. They will be able to discuss the links between the evolution of Western economies
and the emergence of economics as a distinct discipline. Students will be able to define and discuss the
mercantilist, early institutionalist, and heterodox schools of economics, including Marxian theory, which
have challenged mainstream economics. This Paper will help the students to trace the development of
neoclassical marginalism, and to identify the areas of agreement and disagreement between the classical
and neoclassical approaches in economics. Students will be able to discuss the historical context and
content of the Keynesian revolution, as well as the subsequent developments and criticisms of
Keynesianism.

culture became a significant field of inquiry. This Paper will consider those diversified theoretical

that of the language will also be addressed in exploring the relationship between society, culture and
language.

Social Inequality
Credits: 4

The purpose of this Paper is to focus on different types of inequality based on class, gender, caste,
race and ethnicity, both at general theoretical level and in the context of specific societies. Starting
with the classic and path-breaking class theory of Marxism, it eventually would light on the
interventions made by Weber and challenges posed by Gramsci. Major schools of feminist thought
will also be discussed. Orthodox and contemporary understanding of the older concepts like caste and
race will be made familiar to the students in light of consumerism and ethnicity-nationality
continuum.
