課程概述 |
This is the first half of a two semester economic history course, but it can be taken by itself as a stand-alone course. This half covers world economic history from earliest times up through the first and second industrial revolutions. This could be described as "big history." We will look at the development of institutions that allowed the human race to grow and eventually prosper. The role of Asia will be emphasized. |
|
課程目標 |
To get students thinking about how the human economy has, and is, developing. |
