Description: The Problem with Profit, 1400 - 1650
This course examines changing attitudes towards profit and wealth in Europe from 1400-1650. As capitalism emerged in Europe, people responded to this controversial idea and the actual accumulation of wealth in their communities in many ways. We will examine theological, cultural, and political debates and practices involving wealth, profit, and the significance of money. We will then turn to exploring social and cultural responses to wealth inequality within early modern communities.
