Institution:

Macalester College

Subject:

Description:

Wealth has held an allure for many modern thinkers; the creation of a wealthy society often is associated with "civilization" itself. The relationships among work, wealth and well-being are a perennial concern and havebeen central to the study of political economy, since its inception in the mid- to late-18th century. How does work produce wealth for the individual and for society How, or when, does individual and social wealth translate into individual and/or social well-being And, how does the character of work affect individual wellbeing or happiness This course will examine the answers given to these questions (and myriad corollary questions) by writers within the political economy tradition. Alternate years. (4 credits)
