Economic History of the World

I’m very good at finding stuff online. I don’t have time or will to actually read or see it all but I still find and even hoard a lot of information . Here are some video lectures I found which are exactly about the topic of this blog: world economic history. I can’t vouch for their quality as I haven’t watched them yet. Hopefully someone will find something useful.
