Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
What institutions and policies are most conducive to liberty, democracy, prosperity, economic security, opportunity, health, happiness, and other desirable features of a modern society? To what extent are there tradeoffs? Are there grounds for thinking that institutions or policies not yet tried would do better than the best ones currently in existence? The seminar will attempt to answer these questions by examining the experiences of the rich democratic nations since the middle of the twentieth century.
