Almost half of the world’s population lives in poverty. What are the mechanisms of power that reproduce inequality in different settings around the world? Why do we have so much poverty on earth? How can we work towards a brighter future for all? This course takes an anthropological approach to understanding global economics. We'll also explore how cultural attitudes towards race, class, and gender are used to justify and reify unequal distributions and practice techniques for effective cross-cultural communication.
