Course description and aims
This course focuses on an economic theory of history in which our modern economic society is considered as capitalism. We at first deal with pre-modern societies, following which the transition to capitalism is discussed. Then we consider the historical stages of capitalism up to the 21st century.
The aim of the course is to understand history as a ""story"" complied from a certain modern viewpoint, especially from a Marxian economic viewpoint. In this sense, history is far from a chronological table. Students will learn how to academically contemplate on past incidents. At the same time, students will also learn social impacts of technology in the history.
Student learning outcomes
1) Understand a broad perspective of economic history on capitalism
2) Understand problems in a modern society from historical viewpoints"
Keywords
