HON 300C - Economic Justice

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Honors

Description:

This course begins with an examination of the historically influential Biblical tradition of demanding social or economic justice for all people. We then turn to a close comparative study of influential secular theories of economic justice proposed by John Locke, Karl Marx, John Stuart Mill, John Rawls, Robert Nozick, and Amartya Sen. Finally, we evaluate the success (or not) of socialism, free market capitalism, and the comprehensive welfare state in providing economic justice for people in the contemporary world, as demanded by both the Biblical tradition and western secular economic justice theorists.
