It is necessary to examine economic history in order to evaluate the economic causes and consequences of historical events that occurred in the past. It will be taught how international relations and history have been shaped according to economic objectives throughout history. In addition to the economic history of the past, modern economic history will also be taught. Especially the developments that emerged after 1945, which created great revolutions in the history of economics, continue until today. Students will understand why the great economic revolutions in the history of economics emerged and will have a better understanding of the reasons for today's economic conflicts and revolutions. In the economic history course, students will comprehend the common points that developed countries have followed in development and will learn better where developing countries have made mistakes. Analyses will be made to understand development, international relations and historical events through the total power equation. Thus, it will contribute to the formation of a clearer, more insightful mind.
In the first step, the course will begin with the birth and subject of economic history, the industrial revolution and its consequences. Afterwards, the history of modern economic history, the history of record money, which forms the basis of the modern economy, how it is printed and how it affects domestic and global politics will be covered. The fact that the theories produced by the great theoreticians in the history of economics, in addition to discovering the general rules of the economy, are development models specific to their own countries, which will ensure the development of the countries in which they live. The parts of these models that are suitable for our country and the rules of general economic science can be applied, but each country should also develop a development model suitable for itself according to its degree of development. For this reason, this course will also be a history of economic theories course. The pragmatic side of the course is that in addition to Western development models, eastern development models such as Japanese, Russian and sometimes even Chinese development models will also be covered. It will be a postmodern, contemporary economic history course combining classical and modern theories. The total power equation will be emphasized in the lectures. Historical events, current economic conflicts and problems of international relations will be analyzed through this framework. The total power equation is also an equation of economic history and development. For this reason, a good understanding of this equation will give students the ability to see the background of historical events not only in economic history but also in other history courses. It will be taught what superpower economy, peace economy, war economy, developing economy, oil economy, bretton woods system, petro dollar system are and how they played a role in shaping modern economics.
