1 Professor Gavin Wright Economics Landau Economics Building Winter AMERICAN ECONOMIC HISTORY The course is an introduction at the graduate level to economic history as an approach to economics, and a survey of major issues pertaining to the historical/institutional bases for the distinctive performance of the American economy. Class discussion is central to the course, and students are expected to come to class prepared to discuss the required (*) readings for that day. Course requirements are as follows: (1) leading a class discussion for approximately 30 minutes, based on an article in the field (in most cases this will be an unstarred reading on the syllabus); (2) an open-book final exam; (3) a term paper, which may be a critical review of a relevant paper or book. [Those completing the economic history field may submit one "field paper" rather than separate term papers for each course.] Written proposals for the term paper must be approved by me prior to March 10. Three books have been ordered for purchase:naomi Lamoreaux, Insider Lending (Cambridge University Press, 1994); Joshua Rosenbloom, Looking for Work, Searching for Workers (Cambridge, 2002); Erik Brynjolfsson and Brian Kahin (eds.), Understanding the Digital Economy (MIT Press,.
