ECON 1740 Economic History of the U.S
The United States has a rich a diverse history. One aspect that is
widely overlooked however is the economic history of this country, and
because of this I believe this assignment will be beneficial. For the purpose of
this assignment students have been tasked with writing an essay which will
demonstrate the understanding of the concepts learned in this class. For this
assignment I will be writing a paper that will explain how I was able to use
concepts in U.S economic history and apply them to concepts from other
courses, contemporary business or economics and to me personally as an
individual.
As a business major I have taken a number of business courses. The
first and most diverse course that I took was foundations of business and
business thinking. This course was a bit of an introduction to business
thinking and analyzing different schools of thought. During this course we
learned about different philosophers such as Karl Marx or Aristotle and Ayn
Rand and what their ideas or ideals were pertaining to business and business
behavior. Because this was the first course that we took it was hard to know
how it would apply to the rest of my degree, but upon taking classes such as
for and how to prevent personal economic failure. Ultimately, I believe that
the main objective of this course is to prevent history from repeating itself.
