Subject:

Description:

This course will explore the origins and evolution of big business's role in American society. It is not a course about the history of corporations but rather a course that examines how corporate entities have affected fundamental aspects of political, social, and economic life. It will deal with the period from the late nineteenth century to the present and cover such topics as diverse as labor relations and advertising to media issues and lobbying. Our goal is to examine how an historical perspective can help us come to grips with topics of pressing importance to us as Americans today.
