Objectifs
Trade and traders, money and money-lenders, capitalism and capitalists have all been subject to criticism for centuries in Western thought and literature. Britain, the motherland of the industrial revolution, gave birth to much of the modern criticism of capitalism. This class will examine some of the themes that run through this criticism, centered in British thought but extending elsewhere, and explore its impact on contemporary thought and action.
