An isolated study of any discipline without the knowledge of its past will only results to the study of “the unknown by the unknown”, that is, the subject is unaware of the object.

The non-availability of enough texts on the subject of Economic history has created a hole in the interest of students who are willing to dedicate themselves to its study.

Efforts in the past have been combined by several academicians in the field to come out with student desired text but, lack of reference materials which was as a result of the neglecting nature of this aspect of the discipline has denied them this right.

“If Economics is what economists do

then History is what Historians do.”

This book has been researched through rigorous investigation on economic history with special works on the meaning of economic history, its relationship with other cognate disciplines, its evolution, its objectives and importance, its branches, its study approaches, its theories including economic schools of thought, different economic systems in historical perspective and numberless of other interesting and knowledge impacting issues.

“Economic without History has no root,
and history without economics has no fruit”

In other to avoid under-standard work on both sides, the book has adopted simplified approach and enjoyed research works of three great researchers in the field.

The book we trust will perform a function of intellectual dis virginity in student economic history curricular and give an insight into other related fields. It is a must read.
