Description

The Economic History of the World connects the dots between History, World History, International Relations, and Geography by examining the role of economic systems in human development. In History, we see how the shift from barter to coinage transformed societies. World History shows how great empires like Rome, China, and the Islamic Caliphates rose through economic innovation and trade.

Geography explains why certain regions became centers of wealth—rivers, fertile plains, and coastlines shaped agriculture, migration, and commerce. International Relations demonstrate how economic competition and cooperation created alliances, wars, and global institutions.

The course moves through key stages of World History: the Agricultural Revolution, the rise of mercantilism, the Industrial Revolution, and the emergence of global capitalism. It explores colonial exploitation, economic inequality, and the modern forces of globalization. Students will understand how History and Geography together shaped economic development, and how International Relations continue to be guided by money, trade, and resources.

This low-commitment course is structured to be accessible without being overwhelming. It provides a complete overview of how History, World History, International Relations, and Geography interconnect through economics. But act fast—this is a one-time-only opportunity, never repeated.
