What is capitalism? How has it shaped the history of the United States? In this course, we’ll try to answer those questions. We’ll read books by famous supporters and opponents of the expansion of capitalism. We’ll try to find out if the U.S. is more capitalist than other countries, and whether or not capitalism shaped American political ideals.
