The Great Divergence Reconsidered by Roman Studer
Europe, India, and the Rise to Global Economic Power
This book delves into the economic history of Europe and Asia, challenging the conventional narrative of the "Great Divergence" that suggests Europe surged ahead of Asia in terms of economic development during the early modern period. Through a detailed analysis of economic data, the author argues that the divergence was not as pronounced or as early as traditionally believed. Instead, the book highlights the complexities and nuances of economic growth, emphasizing the role of regional variations, environmental factors, and institutional developments in shaping the economic trajectories of different regions.
