GOVT 68 The Future of Capitalism
The first wave of capitalism was industrial: it took people off the farm and brought them to the city and the factory. The second wave, post-industrial capitalism, centered productive activities in services rather then manufacturing. Capitalism 3.0 may transcend the need for human labor more than ever imagined: machines and robots will do the work, especially the difficult, dirty, and monotonous work that has given "work" a bad name. What will capitalism of the future need to be if it is to be a prosperous and fair economic system. Course integrates economics, public policy, and political philosophy.
