Period
Sem. I Trento dal Sep 17, 2018 al Dec 21, 2018.
Learning outcomes
This module provides students with (1) a detailed knowledge of the main processes that transformed the European and world economy during the modern and contemporary ages, and (2) the tools for understanding, analyzing, and critically interpreting such transformations.
At the end of the course students will be able to:
- identify the main components of an economic system and the relations among them;
- outline major historical manifestations of growth, development and crisis across Europe and the world;
- explain the causes and consequences of these economic processes;
- apply the knowledge and the skills developed to a case study;
- communicate effectively in oral and written form, and discuss an economic-history topic.
Program
Following an introduction to basic concepts concerning the operation of economic systems, we will examine some major processes of growth, development and crisis, presenting facts and interpretations and devoting particular attention to the role of technology and institutions:
1. A premise: structural features and dynamic factors in the European preindustrial economies.
2. The emergence of the European-Asian divide: the Great Divergence.
3. Inequalities within Europe: the Little Divergence.
4. The First industrial revolution: why in Europe? why in England?
5. The industrialization of the late comers: the Second industrial revolution and the substitute factors
6. Growth and inequalities during the first globalization.
7. The collapse of the world economy: the Great Depression of the Thirties.
8. From the Golden Age of the European economy until the return to instability.

Linguistic training CLA
Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
