The first professor in this chair, which he held until his death, was Ioannis Alexandros Soutsos (1804-1890). A student of the liberal economist Pelegrino Rossi, Soutsos preferred the term \u00abplutology\u00bb for political economy. Other famous professors of political economy and public finance at the Law School were Andreas M. Andreadis (1876 \u2013 1935), whose funeral in&nbsp;<em>Economic<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>Journal<\/em>&nbsp;written by John Maynard Keynes, Angelos Angelopoulos (1904-1995), Xenophon Zolotas (1904-2004), Kyriakos Varvaressos (1884-1957) and Yiagos Pesmazoglou (1918 \u2013 2003).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1926 to 1967 specialized courses in economics were offered within the framework of&nbsp;<strong>Law School<\/strong>. After three years of common courses, students had the opportunity to choose in the fourth year of their studies between two directions: law or economics. In 1967, these two directions led to the establishment, within the Law School, of two new departments: The&nbsp;<strong><em>Department of Law<\/em>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<em>Department of Political and Economic Sciences<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;in which the first three years were common while students chose between Political Science and Economics in the fourth year of their studies. Finally, in 1972, the School took its current form, as the&nbsp;<strong>Department of Political and Economic Sciences<\/strong>&nbsp;divided into&nbsp;<strong>Departments<em>&nbsp;Economics<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Political Science and Public Administration<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, the&nbsp;<em><strong>Department of Economics<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/em>operates independently as one of the three divisions of&nbsp;<em>School of Law, Economics and Politics&nbsp;<\/em><em>Scientist.&nbsp;<\/em>It consists of 47 members of the Teaching and Research Staff and awards approximately 350 degrees annually.
