ECO 355 Economic History

This course will guide students to better understand historical events by utilizing their knowledge of economic methods. We will analytically apply economic theory and other mathematical methods to the study of history. The goal will be to understand why major changes in our socioeconomic environment have taken place over the passage of human history. For example, we will learn why certain civilizations conquered others, why certain regions are wealthier than others, and we will study the determinants of human prosperity in order to be able to understand how we have become so rich relative to our ancestors.
