Description:

What values form the foundation for the capitalist democratic system? Can our modern capitalist system be considered fair or just? How do we evaluate the inherent dynamic tension in capitalism between efficiency and equity? What values are most important in the system? How do we define distributive justice? How do we understand equality of opportunity as distinct from equality of results? How do we understand the relationship between private property rights and the allegation of exploi tation of workers by capitalists? We will explore the interrelationships between our own values and our society's political and economic valuesas we understand them. Our focus will be on these enduring questions about our political economy at the turn of the 20th centuryOur values continue to evolve through history and personal experiences. As they evolve, they influence our laws, our economic institutions, and the distribution of economic and political power in our society.
