FYSP 094 - Das Kapital

Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4SS, WR
This course is a close reading of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. This classic of economic analysis, political economy, sociology, history and literature is worth reading at any time for what it can teach us both substantively and also about the dialectical method. Since Das Kapital is a theory of the crisis tendencies of capitalism, it may be all the more pertinent now that existing economic models and theories have failed.
