SOC 4290 - Sociology of Money


With the expansion of the financial sector as a backdrop, sociology of money has developed two trajectories. This course provides an introduction to both perspectives: money is created by an authority as a system of accounting for value - those who are subject to the authority then have to accept it, and money is created as individuals negotiate the potentially contradictory logic implied by self-interested, market based exchange and morality. Prerequisite: Six Credits of Sociology



Credits: 3
