Ethics and Economics

Catalog description

Examines ethics and economic theory, and explores the areas where they intersect. The goal is to develop an understanding of what it means to live well, how we should treat others, and how to evaluate the progress of our society. We will also discuss the rise of "ethical egoism" and the spread of "market norms" into everyday life. Throughout the course, we will stress the application of these concepts to contemporary policy debates.
