ECON 310H Ethics and Economics: Controversial Policy Issues of Our Time: Honors

Conventional economic justification for policies embodies a particular moral logic despite its claim to value-neutrality. This course surveys alternate moral/political perspectives from which legitimacy (or moral acceptability) of contemporary economic policies could be debated. Students will be invited to apply these theoretical arguments to a set of contemporary policy issues in the U.S. This is an Honors class. In addition to other possible prerequisites, students need a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.50 or higher to enroll.
