Description:

We will examine the building of Renaissance Florence through the theoretical lens of institutional economics. From our exploration of the city over a 200 year period, we will gain an understanding of the general economic setting and the specific institutional mechanisms for growth which made the renaissance in building, sculpture and painting possible. We will gain an appreciation for the city as an important agent of economic and cultural development. The course is divided into three sections; A theoretical overview of institutional economics; A case study of Renaissance Florence: and a concluding synthesis that asks students to present their own analysis of Renaissance Florence.
