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.

读后感
had the honor of meeting with the two authors today, so it occurred to me that I should write a review for this book. if you look at the literature, the cooperation between economics and history is way less successful than I once thought.To quote this book...
评分困死了……逻辑难免不清……明天醒过来慢慢改…… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 已经放了两年，中间翻过几页。这次因为要present，三天读完——顺便解放出了一个美貌的书签，当时购于中央美院的乌菲齐博物馆画展。 读之前我心里其实是有点唧唧歪歪...

Ch3 第二手材料 缺乏可信度 关于long distance的定义也有点诡异 不过 尚有启发
评分逻辑诡异但又完美。。。有些论点论据不足，该模型很多地方还是不适用。
评分Again the fit theory, also the target of Vries' 2015 book.
评分去年五月在皮凯蒂的主页找到的英文版，很有趣的交集。和《通往工业革命的漫长道路》一起读的，有点相互补充的感觉。观点不新，部分地方缺乏材料支撑，但论证逻辑的推演很仔细。这本书一度成了我的文献索引，按照每章的参考文献找文章读。
