Historian Kenneth Pomeranz shows that as recently as 1750, life expectancy, consumption, and product and factor markets were comparable in Europe and East Asia. Moreover, key regions in China and Japan were no worse off ecologically than those in Western Europe, with each region facing corresponding shortages of land-intensive products. Pomeranz\u2019s comparative lens reveals the two critical factors resulting in Europe&#8217;s nineteenth-century divergence\u2015the fortunate location of coal and access to trade with the New World. As East Asia\u2019s economy stagnated, Europe narrowly escaped the same fate largely due to favorable resource stocks from underground and overseas. This Princeton Classics edition includes a preface from the author and makes a powerful historical work available to new readers.<\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    Princeton University Press (April 13, 2021)   <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    English   <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    404 pages   <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    0691217181   <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    978-0691217185   <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    12.6 ounces   <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    5.5 x 1.25 x 8.5 inches   <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> A landmark comparative history of Europe and China that examines why the Industrial Revolution emerged in the West The Great Divergence sheds light on one of the great questions of history: Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe?
