ECON 185 Econ of Imaginary Societies
What if the well being of a rich society - all its ease and prosperity - depended on the imprisonment, deep underground, of a single child? If you'd accept the bargain, there are those in Ursula LeGuin's short story (to be read in this course) who would not. Or, what can we learn from a society where wealth itself is scorned and the greatest prestige is earned by those who live in deprivation and squalor? James de Mille's novel explores just such a setting. Through studying works like these - taken from film as well as literature - we may well come to see our own society in a different light. Whether or not this is the case, we'll enjoy analyzing a genre that lies somewhere between fantasy, morality play, and political economy.
