Architecture of Modernity: Law, Economy, and the Limits of Control
Modern society's greatest achievements — specialized expertise, autonomous function systems, institutional reliability — are also the source of its most dangerous failures. Climate change, financial crises, AI governance, and pandemic response are all multi-system collisions: problems that cross the boundaries of law, economy, science, and politics simultaneously. No single system can solve them. The systems cannot merge. This course develops the diagnostic framework for understanding why.
