Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of the course is to provide students with a basic knowledge about the historical development of economic processes and institutions, changes in production, distribution and consumption patterns and the unique development of factors of production in the world in general and Western European context in particular.

Course Content:

The course starts with the introductions of several concepts and definitions in economics and economic history. Then, the economic understandings of ancient civilizations, medieval world and pre-capitalist world will be studied. Afterwards, the emergence of modern economy at the dawn of industrial revolution will be analyzed. Together with industrial revolution, modern economy with many new institutions will be introduced and modern world economy with modern civilizations will be studied until 21st century.
