Content Inside: Econ 30413 Economic History of the U.S. John Lovett . 1 Econ 30413: Economic History of the United States John Lovett Fall 2003 The American economy has evolved in some incredible ways since colonial times. American economic history studies these changes and their causes. Economic history is a unique combination of many exciting features. First of all it is history; true action adventures from the past. As such it is a narrative description of what really happened; how we got to where we are. To this we add the analytical view of economics. Were these developments dependent on a few lucky events or were they part of larger economic patterns? Can economics explain our past and what does it say about our future? Sit back work hard and enjoy the ride!
