A History of Economic Thought

Sun, 08 Nov 2026
A series of LSE lectures on the history of economic thought, which have been edited into a published volume with a foreword by William Baumol. The curriculum traces economic ideas from ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle to the emergence of modern analysis in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Plato introduced early concepts of the division of labor and social structure in his works, while Aristotle established foundational economic ideas regarding money, value, and the condemnation of usury. Later, medieval Christian theologians such as Thomas Aquinas and the Scholastics evaluated economic exchanges and property through the lens of moral philosophy and individual duty. Ultimately, the lectures demonstrate how historical contexts and pure logic intersect to shape the evolution of economic theory over thousands of years.

A Sacred Space Is Never Empty: A History of Soviet Atheism

Sat, 07 Nov 2026
Examines the history of Soviet atheism from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 until the late Soviet period, tracing how the regime's approach to religion evolved from aggressive political repression into a complex quest for ideological and spiritual legitimacy. It highlights how the Bolshevik Party initially targeted religious institutions to consolidate state power while relying on education, scientific enlightenment, and propaganda to eradicate religious beliefs among the masses. Despite these efforts, the text explains that the Soviet state struggled to transform popular culture or replace traditional faith with a compelling secular worldview, leaving a persistent spiritual void in Soviet society. Ultimately, the sources demonstrate that atheism served as a vital yet contradictory foundation of Communist ideology, reflecting the regime's ongoing internal conflicts between pragmatic governance and utopian transformation.

A Short History of Celebrity

Fri, 06 Nov 2026
Explores the historical origins and evolution of celebrity, tracing its roots back to mid-eighteenth-century London and Paris where modern consumerism, mass media, and urban leisure culture first emerged. Fred Inglis argues that celebrity acts as a crucial social adhesive that bridges fractured public and private spheres, replacing the older concept of traditional renown with a more individualistic and transitory form of public acclaim. Furthermore, the sources examine how emotions and moral sentiments have historically transformed, shifting from eighteenth-century social reciprocities to Romantic passions and modern psychological self-analysis. Finally, the text demonstrates how theatres, mass circulation newspapers, and television have consistently used famous individuals—ranging from actors and politicians to royalty and modern reality stars—to dramatize the conflicting values, desires, and anxieties of Western society.

A Short Life of Kierkegaard

This biographical account highlights Kierkegaard’s profound spiritual struggles, his complex relationships with prominent ecclesiastical figures like Bishop Mynster, and his passionate dedication to Christian faith.
