WHAT IS CAPITALISM? A BIG QUESTIONS COURSE
The question of what capitalism is, and why we have it, is on the global political agenda. Debate is driven by concerns about greed, efficiency, inequality, freedom, and the environment. But what is capitalism? When did it start? How does it work? Does it foster oppressions such as racisms and patriarchies, or undermine them? Are there alternatives to capitalism? This course explores these questions.
