The Culture of Capitalism
Description
The course asks how cultural products, including literature, theater and film have captured the spirit of capitalism—fueling its fantasies, contemplating its effects, and chronicling its crises. More than just an economic system, capitalism created new habits of life and mind as well as new values, forged and distilled by new forms of art. Core readings by Defoe, Franklin, O'Neill, Rand, Miller, and Mamet and background readings by Smith, Marx, Taylor, Weber, Keynes, and Hayek. The recorded lectures are from Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences course Culture and Belief 56. (4 credits)
