Why are some countries rich and others poor? In 1500, the income differences were small, but they have grown dramatically since Columbus reached America. Since then, the interplay between geography, globalization, technological change, and economic policy has determined the wealth and poverty of nations. The industrial revolution was Britain's path breaking response to the challenge of globalization. Western Europe and North America joined Britain to form a club of rich nations by pursuing four polices-creating a national market by abolishing internal tariffs and investing in transportation, erecting an external tariff to protect their fledgling industries from British competition, banks to stabilize the currency and mobilize domestic savings for investment, and mass education to prepare people for industrial work. Together these countries pioneered new technologies that have made them ever richer. Before the Industrial Revolution, most of the world's manufacturing was done in Asia, but industries from Casablanca to Canton were destroyed by western competition in the nineteenth century, and Asia was transformed into 'underdeveloped countries' specializing in agriculture. The spread of economic development has been slow since modern technology was invented to fit the needs of rich countries and is ill adapted to the economic and geographical conditions of poor countries. A few countries - Japan, Soviet Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, and perhaps China - have, nonetheless, caught up with the West through creative responses to the technological challenge and with Big Push industrialization that has achieved rapid growth through investment coordination. Whether other countries can emulate the success of East Asia is a challenge for the future.

参考书目,其实是几篇论文的resume,但是好读多了。提供了一些客观资料和观点,主要研究世界不同国家,或地域的经济发展分歧。

too many statistics, I'm lost in them. Maybe just reading the first chapter is enough.

从结果来看,没有做到日本的第三点(expansion of consumer demand)也许是最大的失败和现在经济困境的根源了。无责任猜测,原因可能是gq的低效,可能是为出口导向压低利率汇率,可能是劳动保障gh作用的缺失,可能是政绩考核的gdp导向,但这些猜测都有同一个指向,zz。另,坚持读了英文版,明显感觉到越读越快,持续进步,计划坚持下去(每周读英文原著120页)

A bit outdated, but still a good introduction to economic history since the 18th century.
