Colonialism When?

[edit]

This article glaringly omits colonialism and fails to represent its crucial role in Europe's economic history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.211.160 (talk) 07:53, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously this article is unfinished and will be strengthened when all of the sections are completed in its entirety. However, the information that is presented is interesting and relevant. The resources used to support the article are all produced by legitimate organizations, so data should be accurate and free of bias. I think this is a very ambitious and expansive topic and I am interested to see how you will cover all of the subtopics without writing a short novel. However, if you can succinctly and clearly summarize the economic history of Europe than this article would be invaluable to someone seeking just a brief summary of important events and people impacting the European economy. One of the strengths of this article is its organizations, since you've broken down topics into subtopics, making readers find pertinent information quickly. Additional resources you might pursue:
- http://www.oxford-economichistory.com/ ( I found articles on the EMS and the Eurodollar)
- http://eh.net/encyclopedia/#E (Economic History Encyclopedia)
- Rondo Cameron and Larry Neal, A Concise Economic History of the World

The topic you have selected is a great topic. It seems broad at first but it manages to stay specific which keeps readers into the topic. That being said it would be very hard to completely cover every aspect of the subject but you have definitely laid a foundation for a topic that a lot of users could contribute to. The categories are helpful and and it really gives a sense of flow to the article. Its like a timeline that could be very helpful for people interested in the subject. I would recommend perhaps looking at some history books and even incorporating famous economic theorists like Adam Smith etc. But overall its a good start and should be an interesting article in the end.

With a topic as broad and ambitious as this, I would expect to find a number of holes. You, however, have constructed the article in such a organized fashion that you have given it parameters, thereby filling any hole that could present itself. Your list of references gives the article validity, as they appear to be credible and timely. The various sections and sub-sections give it a time line quality, allowing the reader to stay on track rather than navigate away from the article with the feeling that it was too broad to tackle. The section of the Euro versus the dollar is timely because of the current climate of the U.S. economy, so I recommend including an instant hyperlink to the always current exchange rate in this section. Another minor edit would be eliminating one of the "first year" parts of the sentence, "The new payment regulations that were enacted with the Dawes Plan were such that the first year, Germany had to pay one billion marks the first year" in the Dawes Plan section. Other than this minor gramatical issue, the article--although clearly unfinished-- has a promising start. Keep up the good work on this extensive subject. I look forward to reading the rest later.Chrisgerding (talk) 13:32, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Review

[edit]

This article seems to be an ongoing project due to the vast amount of content and time that needs to be put into this. Rather than being a single article in itself I think that what you were trying to get at was a big summary of many different articles on Wikipedia. Instead of reading countless articles on the economy of Europe through various Wikipedia articles people could just come here and get a very quick and easy understanding of its history, therefore I think that you should expand different Wikipedia articles into this one and provide links to those other pages as you did the Euro. I’m not sure if you really need a heading for “Introduction of the Euro” because that makes it seem like a very big category and you would need to put more information into that section. Just consider making it a sentence or something. I just really think that this article is really broad and lots of time and work would need to be put into this article for it to be complete. Then again that is why it is Wikipedia, for other people can contribute to this article so it is just not one person writing it. Like the previous reviews, a timeline and photos should make this article more interactive. Something simple and easy to understand is the way to go. Don’t go way into detail because you want to keep this a quick and brief summary.Crzle21 (talk) 22:21, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

is going to be way to large. Maybe it should be split up between classical, early- and late medieval, early modern and modern (after industrial revolution) periods. Krastain (talk) 17:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just that. Would be good to have a mention/link. 93.159.238.217 (talk) 21:41, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
