Essays by internationally prominent economists examine long run cross-country economic trends from the perspective of New Comparative Economic History, an approach pioneered by Harvard economist Jeffrey G. Williamson. The innovative approach to economic history known as the New Comparative Economic History represents a distinct change in the way that many economic historians view their role, do their work, and interact with the broader economics profession. The New Comparative Economic History reflects a belief that economic processes can best be understood by systematically comparing experiences across time, regions, and, above all, countries. It is motivated by current questions that are not nation specific--the sources of economic growth, the importance of institutions, and the impact of globalization--and focuses on long-run trends rather than short-run ups and downs in economic activity. The essays in this volume offer a New Economic Comparative History perspective on a range of topics and are written in honor of Jeffrey G. Williamson, the most distinguished and influential scholar in the field. The contributors, prominent American and European economists, consider such topics as migration, education, and wage convergence; democracy and protectionism in the nineteenth century; trade and immigration policies in labor-scarce economies; and the effect of institutions on European productivity and jobs.

This book aims to define comparative economics and to illustrate the breadth and depth of its contribution. It starts with an historiography of the field, arguing for a continued legacy of comparative economic systems, which compared socialism and capitalism, a field which some argued should have been replaced by institutional economics after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The process of transition to market capitalism is reviewed, and itself exemplifies a new combination of comparative analysis with a focus on institutional development. Going beyond, chapters broadening the application of comparative analysis and applying it to new issues and approaches, including the role and definition of institutions, subjective wellbeing, inequality, populism, demography, and novel methodologies. Overall, comparative economics has evolved in the past 30 years, and remains a powerful approach for analyzing important issues.

An approach to comparative economic systems that avoids simple dichotomies to examine a wide variety of institutional and systemic arrangements, with updated country case studies. Comparative economics, with its traditional dichotomies of socialism versus capitalism, private versus state, and planning versus market, is changing. This innovative textbook offers a new approach to understanding different economic systems that reflects both recent transformations in the world economy and recent changes in the field.This new edition examines a wide variety of institutional and systemic arrangements, many of which reflect deep roots in countries' cultures and histories. The book has been updated and revised throughout, with new material in both the historical overview and the country case studies. It offers a broad survey of economic systems, then looks separately at market capitalism, Marxism and socialism, and “new traditional economies” (with an emphasis on the role of religions, Islam in particular, in economic systems). It presents case studies of advanced capitalist nations, including the United States, Japan, Sweden, and Germany; alternative paths in the transition from socialist to market economies taken by such countries as Russia, the former Soviet republics, Poland, China, and the two Koreas; and developing countries, including India, Iran, South Africa, Mexico, and Brazil. The new chapters on Brazil and South Africa complete the book's coverage of all five BRICS nations; the chapter on South Africa extends the book's comparative treatment to another continent. The chapter on Brazil with its account of the role of the Amazon rain forest as a great carbon sink expands the coverage of global environmental and sustainability issues. Each chapter ends with discussion questions.

In order to understand China's current economic miracle, it is essential to thoroughly study the true picture of China's economy before the arrival of the West in the mid-19th century. This volume collects the internationally influential Chinese economic historian Prof. Li Bozhong’s influential academic work written in English over several decades, focusing on how to abandon the previously prevailing Western-centric historical viewpoint and recognize the changes in China's economic history during the Ming and Qing dynasties from a new perspective. The selected papers are divided into two main categories: macro-level presentations and reports delivered at major international historical events, and specialized research on economic history, with a particular focus on the economic history of the Jiangnan region during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and comparative economic history between China and the West. The book aims to promote international exchanges in the field of Chinese economic history and expand the international vision of the younger generation of economic historians in our country. These papers, published in various journals and occasions, generated a positive academic response abroad. Upon compilation and publication, this volume will further promote international exchanges in Chinese economic history and enhance the international vision of young economists. Prof. Li Bozheng, born in Kunming, Yunnan Province in 1949, graduated from Xiamen University. He is among the first batch of master's and doctoral degree recipients in history following the restoration of the degree system in new China, and also a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan in the United States. Currently, he serves as a Humanities Chair Professor at Peking University. In 1998, Prof. Li Bozheng joined Tsinghua University, and founded the Tsinghua University Center for Chinese Economic History. He has held various roles, including consultant, director of the History Department, and director of the Institute of Intellectual and Cultural Studies. In 2009, he joined the Tsinghua University Academy of Sinology. Throughout his career, Prof. Li Bozheng has been a guest professor at numerous universities, including the French School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences, the London School of Economics and Political Science (Department of Economic History), Keio University (Faculty of Economics), Harvard University (Department of East Asian Civilizations and Languages), the University of Michigan (History Department), the California Institute of Technology (Division of Humanities and Social Sciences), and the University of California (History Department). A long-term devotee to the study of Chinese economic history, he has published over ten monographs and ninety academic papers in both Chinese and English, making significant contributions to the field.

‘This is essential reading for anybody interested in global history.’ —Professor Ugo Panizza, The Graduate Institute of Geneva, Switzerland This illuminating book offers a compact survey and new interpretation of trends and policies in the US economy from the end of the nineteenth century to the initial period of the Trump administration. Valli maps three stages in this period of US economic history: first, the economic and demographic consequences of the frontier; second, the Fordist model of growth; and third, the attempt to build an economic empire through economic and financial globalization, military and political power and rapid technological progress. Examining pivotal moments from the Wall Street Crash and the World Wars to the recent Great Recession, Obamacare and Trump's electoral promises and first controversial decisions, this book is essential reading for all those interested in American economic power and its future.
