We will use a short and easily accessible text (P. Dasgupta, Economics. A very short introduction, Oxford 2007) as a guide to economic theory and will discuss the possibilities and problems in applying contemporary economic theory on the study of past societies and economies. You are recommended to provide yourself with a copy of Dasgupta's book in advance.
