Role Playing in the History of Economic Thought.

Oberhofer, Tom

Journal of Economic Education, v30 n2 p112-18 Spr 1999

Describes a one-semester economics course in which students assume the role of key figures in the development of economic thought, ranging from the mercantilists through the early neoclassicists. Structures class discussion thematically rather than chronologically, so characters are conversationally engaged in each class. (DSK)
