Economic, Environmental & Technology History

History provides valuable lessons about the nature of technological change and resource expansion and allocation. Some OHIO historians think about these issues in pre-capitalist societies examining how land usage and trade shaped economic opportunities and the environment. Others examine how ideas, governments, and private actors accelerated wealth production and generated new demands on natural resources, societal change, and political tensions.
