Prerequisite: ECON 101. The causes and consequences of socioeconomic developments are explored using literature and film as texts.

Viewing socioeconomic issues through the prism of literature and film offers a rich understanding of the human experience, the essence of a liberal arts education. The course is writing intensive, with essays assigned for each film and each novel. Discussion is centered on development and analysis of the socioeconomic themes portrayed in the films and literature. Goldsmith.
