A joint degree in history and economics provides a rare opportunity to study these two disciplines together. Economics is concerned with the mechanisms and incentives affecting resource allocation, while history is concerned with wider sources of change, including the political. History provides specific insights into why change occurs when it does, and emphasises the differing contexts in which ideas emerge and are used.
