HIS 312 - American Economic History:The United States as a Developing Country

Institution:

Albright College

Subject:

Description:

This course seeks to account for the remarkable economic growth which has taken Americans from the starvation of Colonial Jamestown through the commercial and industrial revolutions to the undeniable, though ill-distributed, abundance of the post-industrial present. The ecological, religious, and technological preconditions of economic growth receive attention as do the political, social, and individual consequences of that growth. The drama is carried forward by a full cast of economic actors: farmers, merchants, slaves, industrialists, inventors, workers and consumers - male and female, adult and child alike.
