具体描述
America’s present economy, understood through its past.
Rich in both quantitative techniques and economic theory, American Economic History demonstrates how an understanding of our past can illuminate economic issues that face society today and in the future. In simple, elegant language, this text walks readers through four centuries of political, social, and economic history, focusing on laws and institutions and emphasizing current economic topics.
The eighth edition has been updated and revised, and includes expanded discussions on population, health, and labor; education; the automobile industry; income and taxes; social security; unemployment; regulation and the financial industry; and the history of economic recessions.

评分美国经济史就是（economic growth）的历史，即人均总产出增长的故事。 人们一开始将砍伐森林，垦殖草原、修筑水坝和扩展郊区看做进步的表征，直到最近才有人对此提出质疑。这种思维方式带有典型的殖民地时期的特点。 美国经济史的写作传统就是：砍光了树木的土地上犁沟就是进步...
