COURSE DESCRIPTION.
This course surveys economic development-especially the rise of
industrial capitalism in the West-from mid-seventeenth century
mercantilism and proto-industrialization-through the post World
War II recovery--the so-called "golden age" of
capitalism. Our task will be three-fold: to learn something of
the topic (economic development), to consider what historians
have written about the subject, and, more broadly, to foster an
understanding of how historians think. Accordingly, each week's
material contains a list of common readings (roughly 100 pages),
as well as a list of representative monographs on the given
topic. Students will NOT be expected to read ALL of these
monographs for this course; they are intended as a guide to
further reading, reading of the kind students will need to do to
pass qualifying (comprehensive) exams in a Ph.D. program.
REQUIREMENTS.
- Reviews: Four (4) times during the semester,
students will be expected to select one book from the
list of supplementary readings and prepare a 750-1000
word review of that book for discussion in class. This
should be given to the instructor (in the mailbox is ok)
no later than 1200 hours on the day before the class
meets; late reviews cannot be accepted. Students will
also be expected to talk in class about the books they
have read/reviewed.
FURTHER NOTES: |
a) When two or more students are doing
reviews for a particular class, they MUST NOT
read the same book. |
b) Students may do only one review for a
given week. |
c) Generally, a good review does three
things: |
i) identifies the thesis of the book being
reviewed;
|
ii) summarizes the content of the book
(including types of sources consulted)
directed toward proving that thesis;
|
iii) assesses the thesis (is it
successfully proved? Why or why not? What
might the author have done
differently/better? etc).
|
d) It is STRONGLY recommended that students
consult some examples of book reviews in
professional journals (American Historical
Review, Economic History Review, Journal
of Interdisciplinary History, etc., etc.) to
see the way reviewers work before attempting
their first review. |
- Novel Analysis: Each student will also be expected
to select one novel from a selected list (to see the
list, click here) and analyze it
in terms of what it says about the issues of importance
in this course--economic development, economic history,
industrialization, industrial values, etc. Remember a
good novel, like a good history book, contains an
argument (usually more than one). This assignment can
be completed anytime during the semester.
- Mock Qualifying Exam: At the end of the course,
students will be given a mock qualifying exam on the
material in the course. This will consist of a question
or questions of the kind they might face in Ph.D.
comprehensives. The questions will be distributed during
the final class meeting of the semester (Dec. 9), and
students will have two (2) days to complete a 1500-2000
word answer and return it to the instructor (i.e., on
Dec. 11). Deadline: 1700 hours.
ASSORTED THREATS AND OTHER
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
- The Instructor reserves the right to make additional
assignments if, in his judgment, students need extra
incentive to do the weekly reading.
- Attendance:
a) Students absent for more than four (4)
class meetings can receive no better than a "D"
for their participation grade.
b) Students absent for more than six (6) class
meetings will not be allowed to take the mock qualifying
exam, receiving an "F" for that portion of
their grade.
c) Students arriving to a particular class meeting
more than 20 minutes after the scheduled starting time
will be considered absent for that class.
d) There is no such thing as an excused absence/lateness.
- Presentation: It should go without saying, but to be
clear: All book reviews, the novel analysis, and the
answer to the comprehensive exam must be written in
impeccable English (or the nearest approximation you can
muster) and typed/word processed, double-spaced,
minimally 2.5 centimeter margins, and in a font size not
requiring a magnifying glass to be read (12-point,
please).
FINAL GRADES.
Barring any additional assignments, final grades will be computed
as follows: (1) four book reviews, 11% each (total: 44%); (2)
novel analysis, 11%; (3) mock comprehensive exam, 20%; and (4)
class participation, 25%.
