This landmark work from economic historian Angus Maddison is a must-read exploration of 2,000 years of globalization, capitalism's origins, trade history, and world development, tackling hot-button questions about Western conquest, Asia's and Africa's stalled growth, and the true origins of the West's rise, as his groundbreaking data overturns the conventional wisdom that China led Europe until 1800 and reshapes how we understand the roots of modernity.
This monograph explores the causes of the West's economic growth over the last 2,000 years and contrasts it with the economic history of the rest of the world.
