Economic History
A graduate-level survey from MIT OpenCourseWare covering world economic history, built for economics PhD students learning the field's subject matter and methodology. The course moves through a wide range of historical experience across regions and periods, with emphasis on the process of industrialization and its economic consequences. Materials include the reading list, lecture topics, and assignment structure used in the MIT course, culminating in a final term paper. It suits students who want a rigorous, research-oriented introduction to how economists study historical change rather than a narrative history course. No video lectures are included, only the course's syllabus and materials, and it is offered free through MIT OpenCourseWare.
