Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article to evaluate because it contained a lot of information. It did a good job of defining what was happening and provided information and links that were easily accessible. I am also interested in economic history and how the economy has changed over time so that was part of the reason as to why I chose this topic.

Everything in the article is relevant to the topic of economic history. Nothing distracted me from learning about the history of economics. No information is necessarily out of date. When talking about the history of something you need sources and example from the past and this page provides links along with the information. The article does in fact only talk about a majority of white males. I am sure many people of color contributed to the evolution of economics and should be represented in this page. The article is neutral and goes through different important dates that shaped the history of the economy. It also provides a list of notable economic historians. The links work and the information is cited correctly. Overall this article is well written with a lot of information on the page. The page also includes a world GDP per capita graph depicting the years1400-2003. One thing I would add to this article is findings from more recent years to update the page.
