Course Description
American Capitalism : Across the world, capitalism has become the dominant economic system for organizing human productive activity. Within each country capitalism has also developed a particular political framework in which power, income, and social priorities are determined. Within the United States to what extent do major corporate interests control or constrain these priorities? Globally, does the expansion of world trade and direct foreign investment lessen the gap between rich and poor or does it produce a "race to the bottom"?
