War and Economy in the Twentieth Century
This course was part of the Warwick Economics undergraduate teaching programme from 2009/10 to 2018/19. Coded EC224, it was chosen by second-year and final-year undergraduates enrolled predominantly on the BSc programmes in three prorgrammes: Economics, EPAIS (Economics, Politics, and International Studies), and PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics). Numbers fluctuated between 30 and 60 a year. In one of those years I was on leave, and the course was led capably by Eric Golson. Below are the programme, reading list, FAQs, and lecture slides for 2018/19 -- the final year of my course.
