In Fall 2013, the Davies Forum topic will be: "Corruption, Ethics and Crisis - The American Economy at Crossroads." This forum will be taught by Professor Suparna Chakraborty of the Department of Economics.
The aim of this proposed course is to examine in depth the erosion of values in American businesses today and its consequence on the greater economy. This course attempts to search for the roots of the recent crisis in a loss of the moral fiber in pursuit of profit maximization and examine how, taking short-cuts with ethics, can undermine the very foundations of the market economy on which our society is based.
