Oligarchs

Professor:
David Lingelbach

University:
The University of Baltimore

2024
Mini Course Syllabus

This is the summarized version of the course syllabus, which is subject to change.

Oligarchs are some of the most controversial, consequential, complex, and poorly understood figures in global business and politics today. They generate important economic and political outcomes, the origin story of which deserves to be better understood by businesses, NGOs, and ordinary citizens. This course opens up the black box of the oligarch phenomenon, enabling students to understand how these actors make decisions, gain wealth and power, and increasingly dominate our world. The course focuses on the oligarch process as seen through the lives of 16 oligarchs active around the world from 1946 to the present.
