Description:

This seminar examines the tensions created by the impersonal dynamics of market based economic systems, focusing especially on capitalism, and the role that moral principles and religious commitments, especially those of Trinitarian Christianity, can play in making economics serve the highest aspirations of human beings. The discussions will take into account the many faces of capitalism, the challenge of market-based socialism, and recent developments in the way we understand the spirit of Christianity. (Open to Everyone)

Facilitated by Ardis Collins: Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University
