Barriers to Growth

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the barriers to economic growth, this book offers a fresh perspective by examining the slow dissolution of these impediments rather than highlighting singular forces behind the industrial revolution. It explores early resource misallocations and nineteenth-century reforms, emphasizing the challenges faced. The second section addresses physical obstacles and shocks, including natural disasters, often overlooked in traditional economic histories. This comprehensive analysis will appeal to academic economic historians and related fields, providing a valuable supplement to existing literature.
