The couse will focus - sinthetically way- on the institutional premises and macro and microeconomic factors that led to the Industrial Revolution and to the birth of the modern world starting from some economic key-concepts which will be developed through specific country case-studies.
The course aims to consider the European economic development in the framework of international relations from the late Middle Ages to the contemporary age. The changes in the Italian economy over the last two centuries will be studied.
