GOVT 20.03 Morality and Political Economy

How do people attach moral significance to their economic activity? How durable or malleable are religious and philosophical traditions in shaping moral ideals surrounding economic phenomena? And what is the role of government in promoting a “moral” economy? By surveying the thought of Greeks and Romans, Christians, Muslims and Jews, ancients and moderns, students will experience a wide-ranging introduction to the problem of how to define economic virtue in an age of globalization.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
