Course Description
This class examines exchanges and transactions that are traditionally repugnant, and sometimes illegal. Importantly, what constitutes a repugnant transaction is culturally dependent, changing over time and across cultures. For example, typical repugnant transactions in modern western societies include organs, blood, babies, sexual relations, votes for money, and a wide range of other issues. In other cultures and times, however, humans were sold as a matter of course, whereas land was considered inalienable. Students will discuss cases and reading selections from law, economics, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.
