Class Details
This course offers a broad introduction to the workings of contemporary global capitalism, emphasizing the inherent and inseparable intertwining of politics and economics, power and wealth, the state and the market. It begins with an overview of the recent history of globalization and its continuous creation and destruction of asset bubbles. The core of the course is made up of a broad analysis of global trade and global finance, with special attention to subjects such as free trade, the WTO, development, money, and financial crisis. We conclude the course with a close look at the recent global economic downturn, its politics, and its implications for the future of global capitalism.
