HIST 1018 - GLOBAL INEQUALIT: HISTORIES AND DEBATES

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Why are some places so rich and others so poor? Do climate-based, geographic, or other natural factors account for the deep disparities between world regions? Or do these reflect human choices and hierarchies of power, within countries or between them? In this course we debate the causes of global inequality and ask what can be done about it. Are international efforts to shape economic growth in the world's poorest countries triumphing over poverty or making the problem much worse? Is 'international development' a success story, a failure, or a fraud?
