INTRODUCTION: Classical Economics: The tradition of economics that began with Adam Smith, and continued with other theorists including David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus, Jean-Baptiste Say, and others. The classical economists wrote in the early years of capitalism, and they uniformly celebrated the productive, innovative actions of the new class of industrial capitalists. They focused on the dynamic economic and political development of capitalism, analyzed economics in class terms, and advocated the labour theory of value.Lecture 8 , 9 , 10 - Background concept - Notes

2. Understand the development of the macroeconomic thoughts from the last quarter of the eighteenth century to mid twentieth century, the Classical and the Keynesian theory of income and employment.
3. Know the impacts of great depression on the world economy and the development of different macro theories as a consequence of this event.
