Synopsis

This book highlights events and policies that have contributed to prosperity and material well-being throughout the world - as well as those that have resulted in continued "underdevelopment" for many nations. The first half of the book surveys world history (with an emphasis on Europe) from ancient times to the end of the 18th century, seeking the underlying reasons for Europe's (and America's) higher living standards. The second half investigates in greater detail the related processes of industrialization and urbanization that transformed Europe, America and the world in the 19th and 20th centuries.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This is an important book. It is the best textbook on world/European economic history on the market, and Professors Cameron and Neal should be thanked for doing a service to the field of economic history. (George R. Boyer, Cornell University, ILR School)

I think this is the best current economic history text available for both graduate and undergraduate use. It is very well written and infinitely accessible to advanced students (from sophomores on up). (Giulio Gallarotti, Wesleyan University)

Fantastic introduction of the economic history of the world." - Oded Galor, Brown University, Fellow, Department of Economics, Hebrew University

I would describe it as the current best comprehensive survey text of the history of the world economy. (David Clingingsmith, Case Western University)
