具体描述
China has reemerged as a powerhouse in the global economy, reviving a classic question in economic history: why did sustained economic growth arise in Europe rather than in China?
Many favor cultural and environmental explanations of the nineteenth-century economic divergence between Europe and the rest of the world. This book, the product of over twenty years of research, takes a sharply different tack. It argues that political differences which crystallized well before 1800 were responsible both for China’s early and more recent prosperity and for Europe’s difficulties after the fall of the Roman Empire and during early industrialization.
Rosenthal and Wong show that relative prices matter to how economies evolve; institutions can have a large effect on relative prices; and the spatial scale of polities can affect the choices of institutions in the long run. Their historical perspective on institutional change has surprising implications for understanding modern transformations in China and Europe and for future expectations. It also yields insights in comparative economic history, essential to any larger social science account of modern world history.

读后感
困死了……逻辑难免不清……明天醒过来慢慢改…… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 已经放了两年，中间翻过几页。这次因为要present，三天读完——顺便解放出了一个美貌的书签，当时购于中央美院的乌菲齐博物馆画展。 读之前我心里其实是有点唧唧歪歪...

用户评价
只看每个chapter的开头结尾，略去中间只抓结论，没办法精读真的来不及了……感觉还是王国斌一贯的主张，然后和彭慕兰原著套了一下，算是对彭著一个很好的补充……姑且算是为整个研究范式添砖加瓦了吧
评分日益无感于此类不可证不可知的问题。
评分Introduction & Conclusion. Very confusing.
