Reviews for Global Economic History

"""Praise for the 1st edition: 'As a stimulating summary of some of the new contributions to global economic history, it is well worth reading.'"" --EH.Net ""At last we have a volume containing sophisticated illustrations of the many facets and features of global economic history, endorsing its indispensability. Incorporating divergence and global interconnectedness, delving into the related histories of Africa, Latin America and Asia, as well as Europe, and addressing developments from the 16th to the 20th centuries, this is a perfect tribute to Patrick O'Brien's broadminded inspiration."" --Pat Hudson, Emeritus Professor of Economic History, Cardiff University, UK"
