A Video-Chat with Sergio Rossi: Milton Friedman and the Monetarist School
This course will expose students to some of the key debates that link digital transformations to economic, social, and political inequalities. Students will be familiarised with a variety of theoretical movements in development studies and internet studies: exploring thinking that frames the internet as a leveller that can bridge divides vs. exploring the internet as an infrastructure that amplifies existing inequalities.
Digital Capitalism and its Inequalities
Is capitalism the context where gender inequalities are reproduced, or is capitalism something more than a context?

The discrepancies between this model and the reality it claims to address are then attributed to particular imperfections in reality itself.
