Evaluate the article
Lead section - was well written, the first sentence gives a good brief explanation of the article. And, overall lead stays on topic providing good terms and information that relevant.

Content- seems slightly out dated since almost every article is 5+ years old, yet the information is good. However, it is about "economic history" so not having completely up to date articles seems ok to me.

Tone and balance- I think the overall tone is well done. It would be hard to create major bias on an article such as this unless they were talking about their own nation more than others, however I didn't notice any of that.

Sources and References- All the sources seem relevant, most of them are 10+ years old. They have a section specifically shouting out major writings of people.

Organizations and writing quality - I think its very well written. Its also very well broken up to where if you were trying to find a specific thing it would be very easy.

Images and media - There aren't many images on the page, but the ones that are used are up to date with the guidelines.

Talk page discussion- most of the comments are from the early 2000's and they are mostly critiquing the lack of editing at the time but since then there has obviously been much more editing and work done.

Overall impression- I thought it was good and had some good information. At times I thought that it was getting a little of track and that it wasn't really talking about economic history, but I think that was just the person talking more about points they wanted to talk about. However in a overall sense and for quick information I think you could get good value out of it.
