- Title
Introducing the Moral Foundations of Capitalism in Undergraduate Business Law and Ethics Courses Using Kelo v. City of New London.

- Abstract
In its 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of New London, the US Supreme Court upheld the use of eminent domain to take private property for the use of other private entities so long as the taking is designed to confer a public benefit. This paper discusses how Kelo can be used in undergraduate business law and ethics courses to introduce students to the moral foundations of free enterprise capitalism. The case presents a unique opportunity to correct several fundamental misconceptions that many undergraduate students bring to the classroom about the nature of capitalism and business in general.
