1870?

growth of export markets?
- How did agriculture react to protection in the interwar
period?
- What was the role of agriculture during the European golden
age?
- What happened to the growth of labour force and labour
participation rates?
- How did investment evolve and how did its composition
change?
- How did labour, capital and total factor productivity
perform?
- How does this compare to what happened in the USA?
With analyses of more than ten European countries and
introductory and concluding chapters that compare and contrast the
European experience with that of North America, this volume is key
reading for students of agriculture, development economics and
economics history.
