Final blog post

I want to start by saying that, in my opinion, it is not an easy class, but not hard either. This course taught me a lot since I have only taken an introductory history class, but my first time taking a history course at Baruch. The required readings expanded my knowledge and learning how other countries worked together was good to learn. In addition, it was interesting to know more about the American business history, the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the meaning of capitalism. Since the beginning of the semester, we learned that there are many ways to define capitalism, and this course helped me understand more in depth about it. Another thing that caught my attention was how and the role the government played. The economic activities and business strategies were also new to me. Taking an American business history course can help understand how businesses worked back then and how they do nowadays.
