Bachelor of Arts in Economics

Engage in an informed, critical, and passionate investigation of the economic dynamics of contemporary society. The Economics program at Lang is committed to providing you with a firm grasp of the technical tools of contemporary economic analysis and a well-rounded understanding of the contributions of Adam Smith, Karl Marx, David Ricardo, J. M. Keynes, and other leading figures in the history of economic thought. It's a distinctive approach to the field that the renowned economist, author, and New School professor Robert Heilbroner (1919?2005) called the worldly philosophy.
Lang's Economics program seeks to train technically savvy economists who are aware that true economic insight is not based on received wisdoms or dogma. Economics is a living body of knowledge that evolves according to social and political debates and struggles. Through the interdisciplinary study of economics, you'll be empowered to participate effectively in debates about some of the central unresolved dilemmas of modern society.

During your studies you develop your ability to draw on this holistic understanding of economics to intervene critically ? as a professional and an engaged citizen ? into debates on pressing issues of economic analysis and policy, such as:

Causes of and possible solutions for rising levels of economic inequality
Challenges that developing regions face in efforts to increase employment, incomes, and productivity
Origins of economic crises and what societies can do to avoid and manage them
Economic aspects of class, gender, racial, and ethnic divisions
Economic strategies to tackle climate change
The future of capitalism
