HIST107 - COMP CAPITALIST SYSTEMS
Description:
The course follows the evolution of industrial capitalism since the beginning
of the English industrial revolution in the late 18th century. It ranges from
the problems of the industrial revolution in England to problems of building a
market economy in eastern Europe today. In particular, it examines
industrialization and explores the sources of sustained economic growth from a
comparative perspective. Most of the world, especially in so-called emerging
economies, is still confronted with the challenge, and often pain, of creating
a modern industrial capitalist society. The course attempts to build a
conceptual apparatus for understanding models of industrialization and is
built around issues such as law, anti-trust, corporate forms, banking
institutions, industrial relations, etc. By definition, the course tends to
concentrate on successful industrializers around the world, but questions
regarding continuing underdevelopment will be addressed.
