"State, Economy and the Great Divergence" provides a new analysis
of what has become the central debate in global economic history:
the 'great divergence' between European and Asian growth. Focusing
on early modern China and Western Europe, this book offers a new
level of detail on comparative state formation that has
wide-reaching implications for European, Eurasian and global
history.Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the
historiography, Peer Vries goes on to extend and develop the
debate, critically engaging with the huge volume of literature
published on the topic to date. Incorporating new insights into the
case of Europe, he offers a compelling alternative to the
exaggerated claims to East-West equivalence, or Asian superiority,
which have come to dominate discourse surrounding this issue.This
is a vital update to a key issue in global economic history and, as
such, is essential reading for students and scholars interested in
keeping up to speed with the on-going debates.
