ECONOMIC HISTORY
Economic History B3
5 points (= 7,5 ECTS-credits) Study period: 21 Jan - 24 March 2002
This is an introduction to the modem
economic and social history of the Nordic countries. The starting point is the
agrarian society such as it had developed in the latter part of the 19th century,
and this is compared to the emerging and full-fledged industrial society. Comparing
their development paths, factor endowments and relations to the world market
we try to explain their rather successful growth paths. The main theme is the
emergence of the welfare state and its implementation in the inter-war and post-war
years as it has been practiced in the Scandinavian Model.
