Unger. 330 $aIn sixteen essays authors explore the dramatic rise in the efficiency of European shipping in the three centuries before the Industrial Revolution. They offer reasons for the greater success of the sector than any other in making better use of labor. They describe the roots - political, organizational, technological, ecological, human - of rising productivity, treating those sources both theoretically and empirically. Comparisons with China show why Europeans came to dominate Asian waters. Building on past research, the volume is a statement of what is known about that critical sector of the early modern European economy and indicates the contribution shipping made to the emergence of the West as the dominant force on the oceans of the world. 410 0$aGlobal economic history series ;$vv. 7. 606 $aShipping$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aLabor productivity$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aEconomic development$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aStevedores$zEurope$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aShipping$xHistory. 615 0$aLabor productivity$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic development$xHistory. 615 0$aStevedores$xHistory. 676 $a387.5/440940903 701 $aUnger$b Richard W$0791216 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461569503321 996 $aShipping and economic growth 1350-1850$91989802 997 $aUNINA
