SSC-5080: Modern Socialist Theory

This course will introduce Socialist theories as viable alternatives to capitalist theories of economic and social development in modern society. This course will provide an in-depth, comprehensive overview of Socialist theories from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. Students will examine the writings of key socialist theorists, including Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, V.I. Lenin, Hubert Harrison, Mao Tse Tung, Che Guevara, Antonio Gramsci, W.E.B. DuBois, Langston Hughes, Rosa Luxembourg, Mother Jones, Louis Althusser, and others in order to gain a sense of the international development of socialism as a critique of capitalist theories of social and economic development. The course will focus more on the theoretical development of socialism than its various realizations.
