COR 260 - Democracies

The 20th century saw the international triumph of the twin pillars of modern Western life: capitalism and democracy. The 21st century problems of globalism, environmental degradation and terrorism, however, all pose unique challenges to these institutions. This course will study the origins and development of our primary ideals of social organization. Students will actively engage questions about the value and future of capitalism and democracy while learning about its past.
