Class Notes: Special topic: Thinking about capitalism. This course is an intellectual voyage to explore what kind of social arrangements we find in this thing called ‘capitalism,’ its variations outside of the United States, and contemporary alternatives to capitalism. We will explore these broad topics with numerous chapter-length real-world case studies from around the globe, as well as a provocative book-length case study that will give you the opportunity to learn about Islamic experiments in Southeast Asia. This is a writing-intensive, reading- and discussion-based class in which you’ll discover your opinions, beliefs and values about controversial subjects, as well as what your classmates believe. By forming your own critically informed position, and evaluating others’ arguments, you will be able to more fully participate in national and international civic life and contribute to an open society. It should be a lot of fun.
