SOC 5600 - Critical Analysis of Capitalism

3 Credits (Minimum) 3 Credits (Maximum)

This course focuses on the global operation of capitalism as an economic and social system. Since capitalism is a global phenomenon and this class centrally focuses on capitalism, especially a highly globalized stage of “neoliberal capitalism,” the entire focus of the course is on global awareness. So while much of the class focuses on the United States because it is currently the world’s leading political and economic power, it constantly looks at the global flows of capital and how the logic of capital unfolds throughout the world. Approved for LAS Global Awareness requirement. Prer., SOC 1110, SOC 3150, or SOC 3250.
