The book offers regional surveys of Europe, China and India, as well as comparative studies of building, porcelain manufacturing, instrument making, printing, and shipbuilding. The authors engage with the on-going debate about the ?great divergence? between Asia and Europe, and its possible causes. Technology has so far had a minor role in that debate. This book is bound to change that, through the bold claims made by various contributors. Contributors are: Karel Davids, S.R. Epstein ?, Gijs Kessler, Jan Lucassen, Christine Moll-Murata, Patrick O'Brien, Kenneth Pomeranz, Maarten Prak, Tirthankar Roy, Richard Unger, and Jan Luiten van Zanden. 410 0$aGlobal Economic History Series$v10. 606 $aGuilds$xHistory 606 $aSkilled labor$xHistory 606 $aIndustrialization$xHistory 606 $aTechnological innovations$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 615 0$aGuilds$xHistory. 615 0$aSkilled labor$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustrialization$xHistory. 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 676 $a330.9 701 $aEpstein$b Stephan R.$f1960-2007.$0119931 701 $aPrak$b Maarten Roy$f1955-$0139626 701 $aZanden$b J.
