I had a really good conversation with another instructor at my university, who came into my survey classes yesterday to advertise a comparative international economics course that she will be teaching in the spring, that is the entry class to a 4-week summer exchange program with a university in west-central China. She's an economist, and for a long time I've wanted to do an economic history course that covered both the economic history of a region (the US, probably in the first go-round) but also economic theories and how their development is tied to changes in the economy as well as new ideas and philosophies.
