15 Aug Economic Growth in Historical Perspective
Please write this essay as well as this super small time frame allows you (It is due tonight). It doesn’t need to be a master piece, just make sense! It is basically comparing the powerpoints that i attached here to this short introduction book. Let me know if you need anything!
-Read the short book James Fulcher: Capitalism: A Very Short Introduction (You can find it in the files here). Its concerns overlap very substantially with those of this course, yet it has a different take on the subject than that taken by Professor in the course. Identify what you regard as a key issue in the history of economic growth where the analysis and understanding you find in the book you read differs from that taken in the course. Outline the two positions taken by the book author and by the professor. Then explain which perspective you find more convincing, and why.
