HIST 2300 - Capitalism and Its Critics: An Intellectual History This course traces the ideas and practices that created the capitalist system in early modern Europe, saw its eventual rise to dominance by the late nineteenth century, and in so doing generated and continues to generate considerable criticism and a vibrant debate. This course both engages contemporary concerns and provides an historical account of the ideas and patterns of practice that shaped western and world economic culture from the sixteenth to the end of the twentieth century. It challenges students to understand capitalism less as a hegemonic, clearly-defined force, but rather as a multi-faceted concept that has, throughout history and in our own time informed the beliefs and actions of kings, philosophers, economists, producers, consumers, and citizens.
