CORE 003 SC - Capitalism and Critique
Capitalism is the air we breathe. As a result, we often fail to evaluate critically the role of class in our daily life. Why does poverty exist? What is the relationship between capitalism and culture? What are the connections between capitalism and race? Engaging with foundational texts on capitalism and Marxist critiques, this course examines the origins of capitalism, the organization of labor, the transformation of values and practices by the market, and possibilities for change. We will explore these issues primarily in the context of the US and Europe through a consideration of the ways in which works of literature, political theory, and philosophy narrate and critique capitalism.
Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Every two years
