This book brings together a group of leading economic historians to
examine how institutions, innovation, and industrialization have
determined the development of nations. Presented in honor of Joel
Mokyr-arguably the preeminent economic historian of his
generation-these wide-ranging essays address a host of core
economic questions. What are the origins of markets? How do
governments shape our economic fortunes? What role has
entrepreneurship played in the rise and success of capitalism?
Tackling these and other issues, the book looks at coercion and
exchange in the markets of twelfth-century China, sovereign debt in
the age of Philip II of Spain, the regulation of child labor in
nineteenth-century Europe, meat provisioning in pre-Civil War New
York, aircraft manufacturing before World War I, and more. The book
also features an essay that surveys Mokyr's important contributions
to the field of economic history, and an essay by Mokyr himself on
the origins of the Industrial Revolution. In addition to the
editors, the contributors are Gergely Baics, Hoyt Bleakley, Fabio
Braggion, Joyce Burnette, Louis Cain, Mauricio Drelichman, Narly
Dwarkasing, Joseph Ferrie, Noel Johnson, Eric Jones, Mark Koyama,
Ralf Meisenzahl, Peter Meyer, Joel Mokyr, Lyndon Moore, Cormac O
Grada, Rick Szostak, Carolyn Tuttle, Karine van der Beek,
Hans-Joachim Voth, and Simone Wegge.
