CAPI 1512Local Arts/Humanities: Capitalism in the USA and Beyond
(3) Cross-listed Course(s): HIST 1575. An introduction to capitalism as an economic, political, cultural, and social system, with emphasis on the United States. This Local Theme course uses the methods and insights of the arts and humanities to explore the central question of what it means to be a member of a “local” community. Through the study of the experiences of different peoples, societies, cultural traditions, and modes of expression in communities at the city, regional, or national level, students will be able to better understand the complexity and diversity of the society in which we live.
CAPI 2100Introduction to Capitalism Studies. (3) An overview of the
history and development of capitalism, since its rise and proliferation across the globe, with special attention to the last 300 years. The how and why capitalism changed during these centuries and the impacts of these changes on global society are explored. Students develop a richer understanding of the complex web of causal forces that link the economy, society, and culture. Emphasis is placed that capitalism is not natural or trans-historical, but rather is a social process, with a history of change over time. May not be taken for credit and for a grade if credit has been received for CAPI 1501.
