In an era defined by daily polls, institutional rankings, and other
forms of social quantification, it can be easy to forget that
comparison has a long historical lineage. Presenting a range of
multidisciplinary perspectives, this volume investigates the
concepts and practices of comparison from the early modern period
to the present. Each chapter demonstrates how comparison has helped
to drive the seemingly irresistible dynamism of the modern world,
exploring how comparatively minded assessors determine their units
of analysis, the criteria they select or ignore, and just who it is
that makes use of these comparisons-and to what ends.
