State, Economy and the Great Divergence
State, Economy and the Great Divergence provides a new analysis of what has become the central debate in global economic history: the 'great divergence' between European and Asian growth. Focusing on early modern China and Western Europe, in particular Great Britain, this book offers a new level of detail on comparative state formation that has wide-reaching implications for European, Eurasian and global history.Beginning with an overview of the historiography, Peer Vries goes on to extend and develop the debate, critically engaging with the huge volume of literature published on the topic to date. Incorporating recent insights, he offers a compelling alternative to the claims to East-West equivalence, or Asian superiority, which have come to dominate discourse surrounding this issue.This is a vital update to a key issue in global economic history and, as such, is essential reading for students and scholars interested in keeping up to speed with the on-going debates.

Atlas of Material Life
A comparative history of material life in western Europe
and East Asia. Large-scale comparative economic history of
westernmost and easternmost Eurasia provides insight into our
global history. Atlas of Material Life highlights the main
characteristics of the economic landscape in Great Britain, the
Netherlands, China, and Japan between the fifteenth and nineteenth
centuries. It demonstrates the constraints to which all
pre-industrial economies were subjected but also the different ways
in which the societies discussed dealt with those challenges.
Replete with maps, graphs, and accessible figures, this
transnational study offers fresh insight into the economy of
limited possibilities and humanity's ever-evolving relationship to
resources.
