HIST 339A - Capitalism in Modern European Thought

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

History

Description:

This course deals with the ways in which western intellectuals have thought about capitalism, not only as an economic system, but in terms of its moral, political, and cultural ramifications. It explores the historical roots of thinking about what has come to be called "globalization." Does the spread of the market -- across geographical borders and into ever greater regions of our lives -- make us better off or worse? What effect does it have on personal development, on the family, and on collective identities? This course focuses on the response to such questions by major European thinkers from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries.
