[Daniel Clemence · Rating 4 out of 5]

A useful text book that looks over economic history from 1820 to 2000. Covering a large period of time, the book analyses changes of the economy over time and gives reasons as to why the economy happened a certain way. The book also is light on the economic equations so it is easy for someone without an economics background to read.
