In this study, Angus Maddison explores the causes of the West's
economic growth over the last 2,000 years and contrasts it with the
economic history of the rest of the world. Maddison explores the
impact of Western conquest on the Americas and analyzes the
indigenous and external forces that hindered advance in Asia and
Africa. He debunks the notion that the Western ascension originated
in the industrial revolution in England in the late eighteenth
century. His unique analysis suggests that Western Europe overtook
Chinese levels of per-capita income in the fourteenth century, in
sharp contrast to the prevailing scholarship asserting that China
was ahead of Europe until 1800. Growth and Interaction in the World
Economy provides guidance on the broad contours of development,
which complements qualitative analysis that, on its own, cannot
clearly identify the timing and scope of economic changes.
