Living Standards in the Past. New Perspectives on Well-Being in Asia and Europe
Allen, Robert C. ; Bengtsson, Tommy LU and Dribe, Martin LU (2005)- Abstract
- The main concern of this book is to determine when the gap in living standards between the East and the West emerged. Why did Europe experience industrialization and modern economic growth before China, India, or Japan? This is one of the most fundamental questions in Economic history and one that has provoked intense debate. The established view, dating back to Adam Smith, is that the gap emerged long before the industrial revolution.
