Overview
Part A will focus on the Economic History of the World Economy. The aim is to provide an introduction to the history of the international economy from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. The world economy at this time provides a rich environment in which to examine economic questions such as the link between politics, technology and globalization. The course also examines the impact, in particular on growth and inequality, of the flows of goods, capital and labour associated with globalization, themes of interest to this day. It concludes by looking at the deglobalization experienced in the Interwar years and the concurrent Great Depression.
