The Mechanics Of Modernity In Europe And East Asia

Synopsis

This book provides a new answer to the old question of the "rise of the West." Why, from the eighteenth century onwards, did some countries embark on a path of sustained economic growth while others stagnated? Ringmar's concludes that, for sustained development to be possible, change must be institutionalized. The implications of this are brought to bear on issues facing the developing world today.
