This course examines the relationship between religion and the development of a capitalist economy in Europe, England, and America from 1550 to 1800. It relies on intellectual, social, and economic histories. We cover major thinkers from the early mercantilist thinkers such as William Petty to Adam Smith.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in economics but has little background in it. Professor Valeri makes seemingly daunting topics extremely approachable and understandable. Take this class before you graduate!

Valeri was incredibly engaging in discussions. It was one of the few classes where the majority of students actually elected to keep their cameras on toward the end of this semester.
