Overview
The goal of this A Rising Invisible Majority - Capital, Labour and the Welfare State in Contemporary Political Economy course offered at Sciences Po is to equip students with critical tools to analyze the transformation of the political economy and the welfare state in contemporary societies.
Key facts
Many myths dominate public debate and are often ‘naturally’ internalized in our classrooms. For example, is market economy a natural consequence of economic development? Does market economy really support the economic development of every country on the planet? Is market economy neutral or does it contribute to shape up dynamics of power and domination across gender and class? The course is at the same time theoretical and practical.
Programme Structure
The course is divided into three parts:
- Capital, Labour & Class: Political Economy Foundations to Understand the Contemporary World
- The Political Economy of the Welfare State: Past & Present
- Bringing Society Back into Contemporary Political Economy
