Description:

This course examines the processes responsible for the Industrial Revolution, and British world economic supremacy and later decline in the nineteenth century. We apply economic theories and concepts to understand these issues in the context of phenomena such as the demographic transition, sectoral and technological change, the expansion of international trade, including the slave trade, and the growth of international finance. We read contemporary accounts that record observers' impressions of the changes they saw taking place in Britain from the late seventeenth century to WWII. Prerequisites: Econ 300 and 301.
