This course covers key developments in socio-economic history in a long-term perspective from prehistory to the present, with a focus on European history. The central problematic revolves around the question how and why the ways in which income was generated varied through space and time, and what the implications were of these variations for the nature of social relations. After developing a conceptual framework, the course is structured more or less chronologically around original scholarly texts from the reader, which report on research on one of the central concepts and/or with regard to specific periods.
