Thank you for sharing, Johan! It's a privilege to have access to this catalogue. I'm doing my Masters in Helsinki and can't take a course like this on Econ. History so it's helpful for my own research.
The structure here is remarkble, dividing things into historical episodes vs. roots of growth makes so much more sense than the typical chronological approach. The Gilded Age civil service paper in particular caught my eye since I've been reading up on administrative capacity in developing economies lately. Makes me wish grad courses like this were more accessible to outside learners, honestly dunno how more programs dont adopt this kind of open syllabus model.
Hi Johan. You need to insert a paywall on your Friday posts and then the free subscribers get the preview and the paid ones get the full post. Should solve your Friday issue!
Given my AI "obsession", I can't wait for more info on this! "This year we’ll also play around with a fun new AI assignment, but more on that later."

Regarding the split, how do you diferentiate Ideas from Technology?
What an insightful set of papers! In next year's Econ History post, would you consider linking to gated and ungated versions of the papers you list?

Yes, this is what I did before. But I hoped not to send free subscriber previews, though that seems to be the only model.
Well, that works too if you only click paid subscribers.
