MONEY is a yearlong integrated series of guest speakers, roundtable discussions, films, and courses that consider society's idea of money. It will involve presentations on problems such as unemployment, poverty, and the gender wage gap, as well as discussions on tax policy, the job market and entrepreneurship, and finally a theoretical consideration of the very idea of money, the ideology of the free market, and the morality and theology of capitalism.
