Global Economic History de Professor Tirthankar Roy

Global Economic History

Editat de Professor Tirthankar Roy, Prof. Giorgio Riello
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2018
What are the problems addressed by the growing field of global economic history? What debates and methodologies does it engage with? As Global Economic History shows, there are many answers to these questions. Riello and Roy, alongside 20 leading academics from the US, UK, Europe, Australia and Japan, explain why a global perspective matters to economic history. The impressive cast recruited by the editors brings together top scholars in their respective areas of expertise, including John McNeill, Patrick O'Brien, and Prasannan Parthasarathi. An ambitious scope of topics ranges from the 'Great Divergence' to the rise of global finance, to the New World and the global silver economy. Chapters are organized both thematically (Divergence in Global History and Emergence of a World Economy), and geographically (Regional Perspectives on Global Economic Change), ensuring the global perspective required on these challenging courses today. The result is a textbook which provides students with a quick and confident grasp of the field and its essential issues.

Recenzii

As a stimulating summary of some of the new contributions to global economic history, it is well worth reading.
At last we have a volume containing sophisticated illustrations of the many facets and features of global economic history, endorsing its indispensability. Incorporating divergence and global interconnectedness, delving into the related histories of Africa, Latin America and Asia, as well as Europe, and addressing developments from the 16th to the 20th centuries, this is a perfect tribute to Patrick O'Brien's broadminded inspiration.
