Evaluate the article
The lead section in this article clearly defines what the article is to be about. Here it summarizes economic history as the study of the economy including finance, equality, labor, and business using methods. The content of this article goes too much in depth about the origin and history of economics going back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. Not so much about how the economy is impacted by culture, labor, and the gdp of individual countries and doesn't explain about the methods it uses over a period of time. In this article it does give a list of references pertaining to individual work of an economist or historian related to the topic of economic history. This article does use citations in a good way. The article does write out each section or paragraph going into detail containing the information it explains like economic history. One thing I would like to point out is that it goes to much into detail for the reader to be boring. The images provided don't really support the topic of economic history, just an image of people paving the path of the study and their articles or books they have written. What I'd like to point out is the article really displays the history of economic studies. What I'd like to see more is the information of how economic studies work and where they stemmed from and how it applies to modern economics.
