Overview
Key facts
Market liberalism appears increasingly inadequate as a formula for managing tensions between capitalism’s necessary inequality and democracy’s characteristic demand for redistribution.
London School of Economics and Political Science's Capitalism, Democracy and Inequality - The Crisis of Market Liberalism in Wealthy Democracies course offers a comprehensive introduction to how these tensions have developed in the rich market economies of the world, especially North America and Europe. You will investigate why some are more unequal than others, and how they have responded to the economic and political crises of the early 21st century. Key areas of enquiry include the distribution of income and wealth, the politics of taxation, public spending and welfare, the role of voting and elections, the politics of money, banking and financial crisis, and the rise of populism and political instability.
