Teaching Philosophy

My core teaching philosophy is that economic history provides students with something contemporary economics alone cannot easily deliver: causal facts about long-run outcomes rather than stylised models, and a range of economic environments far wider than any cross-section of the modern world. Teaching price theory through enclosure movements, or growth theory through the British Industrial Revolution, forces students to see that economic mechanisms operate across time and context. It also makes abstraction honest: students learn where the assumptions come from and when they fail, because history shows them cases where they did.
