The book provides a description of material life in North-western Europe and East Asia, for the period from the late fifteenth to the late nineteenth centuries, with a focus on developments in Great Britain and the Dutch Republic on the one hand and China and Japan on the other hand. Like an atlas it provides information, in an accessible format, on the main characteristics of the economic landscape of this period. Maps, tables, graphs and figures are a prominent and integral part of the book. It shows the constraints to which all pre-industrial economies were subjected because of their dependence on organic natural resources but also the different ways in which the societies discussed dealt with those constraints. To provide a better understanding of this economy of limited possibilities, the final chapter of the book is devoted to the emergence of modern economic growth in Western Europe. 606 $aMaterial culture$xHistory$zEurope, Western 606 $aMaterial culture$xHistory$zEast Asia 607 $aEast Asia$2fast 607 $aWestern Europe$2fast 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 676 $a820.9003 700 $aVries$b P.
