ECON 338 - Morality and Material Progress

(3)
Modern mainstream economics portrays itself as an amoral, positive science. Yet, issues of morality cannot be separated from issues of material well-being and progress. Accordingly, students in this seminar course will examine the positions of some major thinkers from across the ages regarding the relationship between morality, material well-being, and the good life. In the process, philosophy, economics, religion, and classics will be brought into dialogue on matters of contemporary importance. Prerequisite: ECON 101 or 102. Every other year.
