The European Miracle: Environments, Economies and Geopolitics in the History of Europe and Asia

The European Miracle: Environments, Economies and Geopolitics in the History of Europe and Asia

by EricJones (Author)

Synopsis

Why did modern states and economies develop first in the peripheral and late-coming culture of Europe? This historical puzzle looms behind every study of industrialization and economic development. In this analytical and comparative work Eric Jones sees the economic condition forming where natural environments and political systems meet: Europe's economic rise is explained as a favoured interaction between them, contrasting with the frustrating pattern of their interplay in the Ottoman empire, India and China. For the third edition Professor Jones has added a new Preface and Afterword.
