WiSe 18/19: The Markets - Political, Moral and Economic Perspectives
Pedro Teixeira, Bernd Ladwig
Comments
The world would not exist in its present shape without markets. Every day we are reminded of the direct and indirect influence they have on political and social affairs: markets have even acquired a subject-like status, as politicians often refer to them in order to justify their decisions. Given the widespread existence of markets, this course will seek to shed some light on their nature and purpose. Throughout the past centuries, the variety of positions and discourses about markets has shown that there is no definite agreement on what one should think of them and the way they influence our social and political life. The goal is thus to go over some of the main contributions to this ongoing discussion, by looking at texts coming from political philosophy but also from other disciplines. Structure: Justification and apology (e.g. Adam Smith, Hayek, Gary Becker, Friedman); Critique (e.g. Marx, Polanyi, Cohen, Streeck); Intermediate positions (e.g. Hegel, Mill, Hirschman, Sen). close
