This undoubtedly is related to two fundamental research questions in economic sciences. First, what factors explain the divergence in living standards across countries under the capitalist economic system? Second, what ensures internal and external stability of the capitalist economic system? The book adopts a unified approach to address these questions. Using the standard growth model it shows that improvements in living standards are dependent on access to raw materials, labour, capital, technology, and perhaps most importantly 'economies of scale'. Empires ensure scale economy through guaranteed access to markets and raw materials. The stability of the system depends on growth and distribution and it is not possible to have one without the other. However, the quest for growth and imperial expansion implies that one empire invariably comes into conflict with another. This is perhaps the most unstable and potentially dangerous characteristic of the capitalist system. Using extensive historical accounts the book shows that this inherent tension can be best managed by acknowledging mutual spheres of influence within the international system along the lines of the 1815 Vienna Congress. This timely publication addresses not only students and scholars of economics, geography, political science, and history, but also general readers interested in a better understanding of economic development, international relations, and the history of global capitalism. . 410 0$aFrontiers in Economic History,$x2662-978X 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aEconomics 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aEconomic Growth 606 $aInternational Political Economy? 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aDevelopment Economics 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy?. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a338.9009 676 $a338.9009 700 $aBhattacharyya$b Sambit$0851317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468226503321 996 $aA history of global capitalism$91900707 997 $aUNINA
