RS 326 - Work, Capital and God

This course explores economics from the vantage point of Christian reflection and belief; and assumes that economics systems can be analyzed and critiqued in light of Christian ethical principles. While the course does not examine the whole of economics nor all of Christian ethics, it will explore capitalism by asking whether and how it enhances the participation of all citizens, contributes to the common good and increases human fulfillment and freedom.

Prerequisites: A 200-level Religious Studies course.

Credits: 4 cr.
