The Record of Global Economic Development analyses the long-term
and current economic forces which promote or impede globalisation,
drawing on the experience of economic history to help interpret
major trends in modern economies. Eric Jones brings up-to-date the
debate on the origins of, and suitable conditions for, economic
growth and discusses themes relating to cultural, institutional and
structural change. He rejects cultural explanations of economic
growth and emphasises the institutional and political conditions
that support it. An account of long-term world agriculture is
followed by a brief history of English agriculture and a critique
of the latest arguments for preserving it. Other topics considered
include language protectionism, East Asia's 'miracle' and crisis,
and specific attempts to adjust to or resist globalisation. A broad
range of geographical as well as historical examples relating to
England, Europe, East Asia and Australia, is drawn on. This
multidisciplinary work will appeal to a wide readership, including
institutional economists, economic historians, sociologists,
political scientists, historians and historical geographers.
