This book, the product of over twenty years of research, takes a sharply different tack. It argues that political differences which crystallized well before 1800 were responsible both for China's early and more recent prosperity and for Europe's difficulties after the fall of the Roman Empire and during early industrialization.Rosenthal and Wong show that relative prices matter to how economies evolve; institutions can have a large effect on relative prices; and the spatial scale of polities can affect the choices of institutions in the long run. Their historical perspective on institutional change has surprising implications for understanding modern transformations in China and Europe and for future expectations. It also yields insights in comparative economic history, essential to any larger social science account of modern world history. 606 $aComparative economics 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions 607 $aChina$xEconomic policy 607 $aEurope$xEconomic conditions 607 $aEurope$xEconomic policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aComparative economics. 676 $a330.94 686 $aQG 000$2rvk 700 $aRosenthal$b Jean-Laurent$0748809 701 $aWong$b Roy Bin$0751025 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457822303321 996 $aBefore and beyond divergence$91510484 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01539nam 2200397 n 450 001 996392213103316 005 20221108064537.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000108546 035 $a(EEBO)2248532565 035 $a(UnM)99863608 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000108546 100 $a19930526d1649 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 12$aA cluster of Canaans grapes$b[electronic resource] $eBeing severall experimented truths received through private communion with God by his Spirit, grounded on Scripture, and presented to open view for publique edification. /$fBy Col.
