The European Miracle: Environments, Economies and Geopolitics in the History of Europe and Asia

Europe's rise dissected through environments and geopolitics.

If you're curious about the underpinnings of our modern world, "The European Miracle" might just satisfy that itch. Eric Jones offers a compelling analysis, grappling with the intriguing question of why Europe, a late-comer in history's grand stage, surged ahead in state and economic development. It's a fascinating investigation for anyone interested in the historical interplay between natural environments, political systems, and their pivotal roles in shaping civilizations.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Why did modern states and economies develop first in the peripheral and late-coming culture of Europe? This historical puzzle looms behind every study of industrialization and economic development. In his analytical and comparative work, Eric Jones sees the economic condition forming where natural environments and political systems meet: Europe's economic rise is explained as a favoured interaction between them, contrasting with the frustrating pattern of their interplay in the Ottoman Empire, India, and China. For the second edition, Professor Jones has added a new introduction and an updated bibliographical guide.
