Why Europe Grew Rich and Asia Did Not: Global Economic Divergence, 1600–1850
Parthasarathi, Prasannan (Boston College, Massachusetts)
A striking new answer to the classic question of why Europe industrialised and Asia did not. Focusing on divergence from the perspective of the Indian subcontinent, Prasannan Parthasarathi points to the plural paths of economic development which resulted from the very different pressures and needs that Europe and Asia faced.
