HIST 073 PZ - The Problem with Profit

As capitalism emerged in Europe (ca. 1150-1600), this controversial idea and the actual accumulation of wealth in communities provoked many responses. This course begins by exploring theories about the development of capitalism. It then examines theological and political debates involving wealth and profit, the social groups who supported or condemned capitalism and cultural responses to inequalities of wealth.
