Understanding Classical Economics

How did classical economics emerge, and what were its key ideas? This meetup will explore the development of classical economic thought, its major thinkers, and the debates it sparked. We will cover five key topics:

1. What is the historical and intellectual context?
2. How did David Ricardo establish classical economic theory?
3. How did classical economics become dominant?
4. What are the other major classical economic ideas?
5. What were the first criticisms of classical economics?

Each section will include a short presentation followed by discussion questions. Join us for an engaging conversation on the foundations of economic thought!
