Overview of class

This seminar is designed to explore what we know about the American political economy and what we need to find out. We will draw heavily on research in comparative politics and on various research programs in American politics that might be modified to speak to important issues in political economy. A central goal is to identify promising areas of scholarly research in this understudied yet substantively fascinating area of political life.
