ECON 250 Special Topic: Economic Disasters of the Twentieth Century18 points. Not offered in 2012. OverviewThis course examines the causes and impact of selected economic crises during the twentieth century. Episodic rather than strictly chronological, it traces the origins and immediate consequences of selected crises, contrasting contemporary perceptions with the subsequent judgements of economic historians. It asks how far governments, economists and others learned from experience and the extent to which economic 'management' developed as a reaction to the perceived instability of Western capitalism.
