Entre los cursos libremente disponibles en el sitio del MIT, señalamos Medieval Economic History in Comparative Perspective, dictado en la Primavera de 2006, por la Prof. Anne McCants
Resumen publicado del curso (dictado en
inglés): “This course will survey
the conditions of material life and the changing social and economic relations
in medieval Europe with reference to the comparative context of contemporary
Islamic, Chinese, and central Asian experiences. The subject covers the
emergence and decline of feudal institutions, the transformation of peasant
agriculture, living standards and the course of epidemic disease, and the ebb
and flow of long-distance trade across the Eurasian system. Particular emphasis
will be placed on the study of those factors, both institutional and
technological, which have contributed to the emergence of capitalist
organization and economic growth in Western Europe in contrast to the
trajectories followed by the other major medieval economies.”
