Course Content
This course is designed to familiarize students with the classic works and most up-to-date controversies within the field of economic history. Major classical texts in economic history will be taken as a springboard for discussing contemporary issues not only in economic history but also in political economy and economic thought. The now-classic three-volume study of Fernand Braudel, the prominent French historian, will be the basic reading for the course. In addition, the works of Hicks, Lane, North, Polanyi, Schumpeter, Steensgaard, Veblen will be familiarized.
