PHIL 50.14 Property, Markets, and Capitalism
Property is a fundamental topic in political philosophy, legal theory and the social sciences. This course integrates philosophical theories of property rights with social scientific perspectives on social cooperation and economic perspectives on private law. It explores the implications of recent work in these areas for broader questions about economic inequality, the fairness of market outcomes, constitutional limitations on state authority, and the proper balance between private control and public regulation.
