Why do some societies become wealthier than others ? Does this wealth result in healthier populations or not ? This course will consider the processes which determine these outcomes. We will consider the origins of industrialisation, the role of trade of innovation and entrepreneurship. It will examine the history of the industrial revolution in Europe and elsewhere and consider the current state of the explanations of this. It will look at the link between wealth and health, the demographic transitions and development of health care systems as economies develop.
