SUS 330 - Sustainable Economics3.0 Credits
Prerequisites: MAT 120 (or higher); and ENG 121 ; and ECO 201 or ECO 202 or ECO 245 ; and SUS 300 or SUS 301 with a grade of C- or higher. SUS 300 or SUS 301 may be taken concurrently if neither course has been previously completed with a grade of C- or better.
Presents an interdisciplinary approach to economics that includes concepts from ecology, physical science, and behavioral economics. Places traditional economic concepts within a foundation of sustainability by stressing the essential interconnections among the environment, economics, and social equity. Explores the limits of neoclassical economics to explain and predict economic phenomena and the failure of the mainstream economic approach to situate these phenomena sufficiently within biophysical and social equity contexts. Students develop systemic and contextual understanding of economic theory and economic phenomena. This understanding forms a basis for seeking potential solutions to problems of unsustainability through a trans-disciplinary approach to economic changes.
