Discuss the difference between classic and new liberalism (see the web link in the supplemental material link). As discussed in the supplemental material, what is social justice? Which model (class or new liberalism) fits the ideological views of libertarians today? Which one fits the ideological views of modern liberals? Finally, how does each of these concepts fit into the lecture discussion of the potential rub between capitalism and democracy (by rub I mean how the two sometimes conflict)?
Why do people sometimes have negative feelings about politics? What is politics, and what is it about politics, that creates such contention? How does political conflict relate to scarcity?
