History of Economic Thought
In this course we look at the ways in which the economic activity in society has been understood and explained over the last three hundred years. The purpose of studying theories and methods which have been rejected, improved or perhaps just forgotten, is to get a better understanding of contemporary economic problems and their interpretation.

The concept of capabilities introduced by Amartya Sen captures
the options open to an individual rather than actual achievement.
Despite of its considerable intuitive appeal there have been few
practical applications. We investigate in an whether this is connected
with the difficulties of formalizing an index measuring the extent of
individual capabilities.

Towards
a formal theory of delegation and compromises
(w.
J.Abdou)
We consider an abstract situation of a political contest, where agents
(who can themselves be coalitions of individuals) must form a
collective body for decision making in a large variety of situations,
and where cases of incompatibility of viewpoints must not occur. To
mitigate such cases of instability, agents may delegate power to
representatives, thereby reducing the possibility of a stalemate.
The combinatorial structure of the political structure matters for the
possibility of achieving a stable collective body, a compromise,
through delegation. To characterize such structures, we use homotopy
theory of finite topological spaces.
