Course Description

This course delves into the history of finance and explains how it grew from financial and ideological theories to governmental intervention in the economy. We trace the rise and fall of financial markets and explain their impact on world economies.

The course establishes what creates and drives a market. We examine key aspects of corporate finance, from risk to bubbles. We then take a critical look at the causes and effects of the 2008 global financial crisis, which is widely considered a pivotal moment in financial world history.
