HIST 425 - Making a Buck: The History of American Capitalism

(3.00)
The word “capitalism” immediately calls to mind foundational works of modern economics, particularly Adam Smith and Karl Marx. In this course you will indeed read some of the most important philosophers and economists of capitalism. We will supplement this intellectual framework with the work of historians who discuss the political and economic developments that have shaped American capitalism. Topics to be discussed include slavery, risktaking, the rise of corporations, income inequality, and modern finance. Recommended Preparation HIST 101   or HIST 102
