Michael Perelman, Professor of Economics, is the most prolific author in the Department of Economics at Chico. He enjoys teaching a wide range of courses including Econ 102 (Introduction to Macroeconomics), Econ 103 (Introduction to Macroeconomics) Econ 305 (Introduction to Economic Thought), Econ 307 (Economics of the Future), Econ 320 (U. S. Economic History), Econ 350 (Economics of Big Business), Econ 410 (History of Economic Thought) and Econ 413 (Marxist Economic Thought). His classes emphasize critical thinking about the application of economic thought and the development of writing skills. Professor Perelman uses a laptop computer in class that contains his lecture outlines which he projects directly on the screen. When students ask questions, Professor Perelman can quickly cross reference the topics and jump to other lectures or bibliographic references on the same topic. He likes to publish what is discussed in classes. To date, Professor Perelman has authored fifteen books.
"Although known for his radical views, Professor Perelman is widely respected throughout the campus. Dr. Perelman is a scholar of high productivity--he has a record of scholarly research, writing and presentations that is prodigious. Even more, his level of work has been consistently high since he joined our faculty in Economics in 1971." (Arno J. Rethans, Dean, College of Business) See Faculty Schedule for courses and office hours. |
