Foundations of Economic History is an introductory module in applied economics. In this module, we will look into the ‘big questions’ of economics: Why are some nations poor while others are rich? What are the determinants of inequality within nations? What can we learn from the past’s epidemics, wars, crises, and the eras of stable economic growth, for today’s economy? Why has Europe, and especially Britain, gained a head start and was the heartland of the Industrial Revolution? Why have some regions created stable, strong, and accountable institutions that are also democratic, while other regions have failed to do so?

Who has power over you, and have you consented to that? A state has great power over its citizens. It can enforce its laws and punish those who disobey. Many political philosophers have thought that people’s consent is required to make this political power legitimate. But does consent make power legitimate, and if so, what kind of consent can do that? Have we actually consented to the state in the right way? Beyond the state’s power, what are the limits to what we can consent to between individuals? And how do existing power relations between people complicate the validity of consent in various contexts? We will investigate these questions over the course of the module, in order to shed light on the complicated relationship between power and consent.
