Description
Waterborne trade continues to be a primary driver of our economy. The Puget Sound, often termed "The Water Link", provides a critical portal between Pacific Rim nations and America's heartland. Using principles of critical reasoning combined with classical economics, this program will explore the cultural and economic history of our region in the context of its primary role as a transportation hub for international shipping. Students should be prepared to engage a healthy list of seminar books which will drive our discussions and provide essential focus for our essays. Daylong field trips will feature opportunities for discussion with CEOs and managers in relevant organizations and firms
