Learning objectives

The course's primary purpose is to discuss the essential aspects which determine economic development briefly. The course considers the determinant characteristics of economic development from a global perspective, particularly regarding the cultural and intellectual factors that are the basis for political, religious, economic, and cultural choices. Starting point is the idea of «civilization» (civiltà, Kultur), as expressed deeply by the prominent holland historian Johannes Huizinga. This interpretation key that considers economic development as a consequence of the impact of human culture (in a broad sense) permits us to discuss and compare the characteristics of economic development in many different geographical vast areas, such as the Mediterranean, Asia, Russia and the North American countries. Under this interpretation, economic development issues display their deep complexity, which requires complex and multilateral solutions close to the present and awareness of the past.

Prerequisites and basic notions

No specific knowledge that could be a hindrance to understanding the content presented during the course is required. However, given the topics covered, some familiarity with economic and political history, the history of ideas, art history, and geography can be helpful for a more effective comprehension of the course.

Program

Definition of the concepts of economic development and economic growth. Economic development as a cultural phenomenon. From J. Huizinga to Robert J. Barro.
2. Wealth production and the pursuit of eternal life in the Middle Ages. The resulting social and economic organization.
3. Utopia and social organization: some relevant cases from the 19th and 20th centuries. Soviet communism and in other countries: a closed experiment?
4. The role of inclusive economic and political institutions as determinants of economic growth in nations (Great Britain, USA, Japan, Western Europe).
5. The role of extractive economic and political institutions as determinants of the failure and stagnation of nations (Mexico, Russia, China).
6. Development of civilizations and culture: some paradigmatic examples in the South American region.
7. Economic development in Eastern countries. The models of China, Japan, and Korea.
8. Bourgeois values, from Sombart to McCloskey.
9. The industrial development model of Verona and that of the rest of Veneto. Major differences in regional economic development in Italy.
10. The economic development model of SMEs and its consequences for the local area and investments.

Didactic methods

It is important to attend the course regularly, considering that the teaching methodology does not consist of a mere repetition of notions to be learned for passing the exam, but in the presentation of a critical approach to economic development through significant cases. Attending related courses and supporting educational activities is highly recommended.

Learning assessment procedures

The examination is conducted orally.
Points of discussion include the methodology for understanding economic development, as presented in the lectures and in the examination texts.
The student will then individually discuss a topic of their choice from the History of Economic and Territorial Development, agreed upon with the instructor and presented in a written report of at least 10-12 typed pages.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

Demonstrating personal critical interpretative abilities represents the most significant evaluation criterion.
Consistency in active participation is, of course, an element that is highly regarded.
