Project Description:
Without economic history, economics runs the risk of being too abstract or parochial, of failing to notice precedents, trends and cycles, of overlooking the long-run and thus misunderstanding `how we got here'. Recent financial and economic crises illustrate spectacularly how the economics profession has not learnt from its past.
This pedagogical research project brought 50 collaborators together to produce a new teaching and learning resource aimed at introducing economic history as a field of research to university students.
The aim is now to produce a second edition, with additional chapters covering new topics, teaching and assessment guides, and expanded use of data visualisations.
