Summary
"What are the problems addressed by the growing field of global economic history? What debates and methodologies doesit engage with? In 'Global economic history,' Roy and Riello, alongside 20 leading academics, explain why a global perspective matters to economic history. The authors cover an ambitious number of topics, 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), to provide the global perspective required by this challenging field of study. The result is a textbook that provides students with a quick and confident grasp of global economic history and its key issues." -- From the rear cover.
