Course Description
The course examines the ways the market impacts our social and political relations and the ways in which our legal institutions constrict and enable the market. Is the market a friend or foe of equality? What kind of freedom does the free market promise? Do businesses have an obligation to support socially desirable ends? Much of the coursework will be dedicated to tying Supreme Court opinions to classical and contemporary political philosophy.
