The aim of this class is twofold: to provide an overview of the socio-economic history of Britain, with a special focus on the early modern period (1500-1820), and to cultivate a critical understanding of the economic history of Western Europe and North America from comparative perspectives. By the time of the industrial revolution, Britain had become a significant commercial power in Europe and played a pivotal role in shaping the course of the global market economy. Therefore, studying early modern Britain reveals how the foundation of the modern global economy was established. Furthermore, it helps to uncover Europe’s unique institutional context, in which latecomers like Japan were destined to prosper (albeit in their own unique ways) to keep pace with the leading Western economies. The comparative approach is a key method employed in this class, as it inevitably raises an important question: why are some capitalist market economies more robust and resilient than others in the long run? The answer to this question has profound implications for our understanding of current global economy.
