  • Description
  • Series Description
  • SDGs
  • Why are some countries rich and others poor? In 1500, the income differences were small, but they have grown dramatically since Columbus reached America. Since then, the interplay between geography, globalization, technological change, and economic policy has determined the wealth and poverty of nations. The industrial revolution was Britain's path breaking response to the challenge of globalization.
    • Takes a global look at the wealth and economic history of countries around the world
    • Uses historical examples to show the strengths and weaknesses of state intervention in the economy
    • Considers the various factors that influence economic growth, including culture, institutions, technology, the natural environment, income distribution, and the standard of living
    • Exposes the historical processes that have created the unequal world we live in today
    • Considers recent developments such as the 'great divergence' debate and empricial studies of economic growth by economists
    • Part of the bestselling Very Short Introductions series - over three million copies sold worldwide

    Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible.

    Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume in this series provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject has developed and how it has influenced society. Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant reference library.

    Whatever the area of study that one deems important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.

    Please note: As this series is not ELT material, these titles are not subject to discount.
