具体描述
China has reemerged as a powerhouse in the global economy, reviving a classic question in economic history: why did sustained economic growth arise in Europe rather than in China?
Many favor cultural and environmental explanations of the nineteenth-century economic divergence between Europe and the rest of the world. This book, the product of over twenty years of research, takes a sharply different tack. It argues that political differences which crystallized well before 1800 were responsible both for China’s early and more recent prosperity and for Europe’s difficulties after the fall of the Roman Empire and during early industrialization.
Rosenthal and Wong show that relative prices matter to how economies evolve; institutions can have a large effect on relative prices; and the spatial scale of polities can affect the choices of institutions in the long run. Their historical perspective on institutional change has surprising implications for understanding modern transformations in China and Europe and for future expectations. It also yields insights in comparative economic history, essential to any larger social science account of modern world history.

Again the fit theory, also the target of Vries' 2015 book.
评分可读性还挺强的，不过大概也可以归纳到“中西对比”一类的套路里？结论就是要“放宽历史的视野”：大分流始于更早的历史时期的设定（尤其是政治层面的差异），而不是显见的19世纪。
评分我学力有限对不住
评分日益无感于此类不可证不可知的问题。
评分模型混乱。
