Synopsis "global economic history"

Why are some countries rich and others poor? In 1500, global income differences were small, but disparities have grown dramatically since Columbus reached America. In this Very Short Introduction, Robert C. Allen shows how the interplay of geography, globalization, technological change, and economic policy has determined the wealth and poverty of nations. Allen shows how the industrial revolution was Britain's path-breaking response to the challenge of globalization. Western Europe and North America joined Britain to form a club of rich nations, pursuing four polices--creating a national market by abolishing internal tariffs and investing in transportation, erecting an external tariff to protect their fledgling industries from British competition, creating banks to stabilize the currency and mobilize domestic savings for investment, and promoting mass education to prepare people for industrial work. Together these countries pioneered new technologies that have made them everricher. A few countries--Japan, Soviet Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, and perhaps China--have caught up with the West through creative responses to the technological challenge and with Big Push industrialization that has achieved rapid growth through coordinated investment.

Un libro excelente. Satisfacción garantizada para todos los colores, esta historia económica global (un área considerada como la reina de las ciencias sociales) nos ayuda a entender que en economía, todos los finales son abiertos. No es este un libro sobre economía, es un libro de historia 'desde' dicha disciplina. Los casos chino y japonés están muy claramente representados. Un libro necesario que al final lo dejará con ganas de seguir leyendo.
