This book deals sequentially with major impediments to economic
growth and their slow dissolution. It is original and quite
different from standard economic history, which has always sought
for one prime mover of the industrial revolution after another.
These supposed positive forces are usually depicted as novel and
little reference is made to inertia. Instead the barriers dealt
with here run, in the first section, from early misallocations of
resources to nineteenth-century reforms which of their nature
indicate the problems to be overcome. The second section deals with
more physical impediments and shocks, such as floods and settlement
fires. These too are ignored in ordinary treatments, which this
book will supplement or even replace. It will be of interest to
academic economic historians and practitioners of neighbouring
subjects such as economists, historians, historical geographers,
and of course their students.
