PHIL 50.14 Property, Markets, and Capitalism

Property is a fundamental topic in political philosophy, legal theory and the social sciences. This course integrates philosophical theories of property rights with social scientific perspectives on social cooperation and economic perspectives on private law.  It explores the implications of recent work in these areas for broader questions about economic inequality, the fairness of market outcomes, constitutional limitations on state authority, and the proper balance between private control and public regulation.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
