History of the American Economy

This book is exactly what I am using in class. The book came in perfect condition. Clean in and out with no writing from previous user. Thanks!

This is definitely the best introductory book there is on the subject. This was a supplemental book for an undergraduate class of mine, but I read it anyway. The authors lucid writing allows this book to be thoroughly understood by all readers despite their backround in economics. I truly believe that this book should be required reading for all history, political science, finance, sociology, and economics majors. Unlike most books on the history of anything, this book starts from the beginning. The authors start off discussing explorers and empires and then go into colonization. Extremely informative on the economics of different regions in colonial America and the Industrial Revolution.

Rockoff gives a brilliant account of the history of the American Economy and is possibly the best American economic historian in US history.
