Catalog Description : Britain is the birthplace of industrial capitalism and of modern economics. But the roots of socialism also lead us to Britain. The Poor Laws are precursors of the welfare system. A number of important socialist authors were British or wrote in and about Britain, and the British labor movement has a rich history. In this course, we will explore the development of capitalism, the evolution of the welfare system, the labor movement, and socialist proposals in Britain.
