Medieval Economic History in Comparative Perspective: Course Description
Europe's medieval history is full of changing patterns of social and economic behavior. This course, taught by Professor Anne McCants, took a look at the factors that ultimately led to the appearance of capitalist systems in Western Europe. Emphasis is placed on the comparatively different experiences in other medieval societies, such as in Islamic nations, or in China or central Asia. Through a list of readings and assignments, students taking this course can learn about the rise and fall of the feudal institutions, the changes wrought in agricultural practices, living standards of the time, plagues, and the patterns of trade across Eurasia. The course is part of both the Department of Economics and the History Department.
