Stone Inequality Initiative

Syllabus Bank

The Stone Initiative syllabus bank fosters and improves university-level courses on inequalities, especially those that incorporate attention to great wealth. We are collecting syllabi that delve into inequality from different perspectives, including the economic, social, political and cultural aspects of inequality and great wealth. These include the impact of inequality and wealth on particular places, especially cities; the development and repercussions of financialization; the history of capitalism. The development of this syllabus bank is an ongoing project, so if you have a relevant syllabus to add to the bank, please contact us.
