This course focuses on social change in ideologies, governance, economies, and social structures of the West. It looks at technological innovation, the triumphs and trials of capitalism, and the impact of industrial society on ordinary workers. It considers the views of classical liberalism and its twin challengers, communism and fascism. It examines the devastation of industrialized warfare and racialized mass murder and the new international structures that resulted. It concludes with the globalization of economies and social structures in the digital revolution. Our study of social change will be deepened by visits to relevant sites in England and France.
