Why did some countries and regions of Europe reach high levels of
economic advancement in the nineteenth century, while others were
left behind? This new transnational survey of the continent's
economic development highlights the role of regional differences in
shaping each country's economic path and outcome. Presenting a
clear and cogent explanation of the historical causes of
advancement and backwardness, Ivan Berend integrates social,
political, institutional and cultural factors as well as engaging
in debates about the relative roles of knowledge, the state and
institutions. Featuring boxed essays on key personalities including
Adam Smith, Friedrich List, Gustave Eiffel and the Krupp family, as
well as brief histories of innovations such as the steam engine,
vaccinations and the co-operative system, the book helps to explain
the theories and macro-economic trends that dominated the century
and their impact on the subsequent development of the European
economy right up to the present day.
