HIST 74200: History of Capitalism
This course surveys major themes in the history of capitalism, including international trade,
marketing and consumption, finance and investment, and political economy. After an initial
focus on the global origins of wealth disparities, the course turns to the case study of the
“market revolution” in the United States, then zooms back out to discuss investment, finance,
and global political power.
MONEY, POWER, EMPIRE, CAPITAL: How does it all work?
