Synopsis "Global Economic History. A Very Short Introduction"

The gap between the rich and the poor can be vast. Robert C. Allen considers the main factors that contribute to this gap, looking at the interconnections between economic growth, culture, technology, and income distribution. Exploring the historical processes that have created the unequal world of today, he takes a global look at wealth worldwide.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringWhy are some countries rich, and some poor? Does this status persist throughout time, and if so, why? How can a country escape poverty?In this Very Short Introduction, Robert C. Allen explores the interplay of geography, globalization, technological change, economic policy, and institutions, to show how they have determined the wealth and poverty of nations around the world.
