For the syllabus and more information, click the item on the right-hand side of this page.
Undergraduates interested in history and economics are welcome. In the past, they have enjoyed the course and done well compared to MA students. For juniors an seniors, an intermediate course in macroeconomics is the only real requirement, and a strong interest in history, are the only real requirements. One purpose of the course is to think about history using the tools of economics. There is no textbook and you should have independent thinking. The syllabus is long, but there will be some cut to adapt to the tastes of the class.
- In the classroom, phones should be turned off and placed in the backpack.
