Capitalism, Crisis and Care

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Inequality is an increasingly central feature of our economic systems. Economic changes seem so vast that as individuals we may feel powerless to influence their direction. However, the economy is made up of various tools and social practices, incorporating money, market, work, and home, produced and enacted by differently positioned humans and more-than-human agents. By examining these relations and practices closely, we can identify and challenge the cultural assumptions that underpin our economic institutions. This examination will enable us to imagine and work towards a more equitable and caring economic future.
