This interdisciplinary course offers an in-depth examination of current topics of economic liberty in American politics, focusing both on challenges to maintain economic liberty and on opportunities to expand economic liberty in areas of law, public policy, education, media and technology, Constitutional interpretation, or other areas of local, state and national politics. Analytical skills are developed as students read relevant scholarship and formulate scriptural and "public" arguments on a range of issues touching on economic liberty. Content will vary depending on recent developments in the field. Other faculty with expertise in topic areas and outside content experts will be invited to contribute to the class.
