Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn't industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? Economic historian Clark tackles these questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Economic history. 650 17 $a Wereldgeschiedenis. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Culturele verschillen. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Sociaal-economische aspecten. $2 gtt 650 17 $a IndustrieÌle revolutie. $2 gtt 650 6 $a Histoire eÌconomique. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0715/2007015166.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0814/2007015166-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0814/2007015166-d.html 941 $a 13 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525035827.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718084306.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829010645.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603013716.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508014310.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926091127.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180118033501.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20100201162302.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C5F620D62B0F11DEAA7E7608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
