Institutions
, pp. 36f.

    7
. See
chapter 5
, above.

    8
. Pomeranz,
Great Divergence

. The question was first posed in the 1950s by Chinese historians.

    9
. See the illuminating thesis in Amsden,
Rise of “the Rest”
, pp. 51ff.

  10
. A famous undogmatic interpretation along these lines is Hobsbawm,
Industry and Empire
, pp. 34–78.

  11

Business Cycles
. Kondratiev was shot in September 1938 in a Moscow prison. His collected works were first published in full in 1998, in the West.

  12
. Polanyi,
Great Transformation
. Influential developments of this approach may be found in the anthropology of peasant communities, and in the theory of a “moral economy” in E. P. Thompson and James C. Scott.

—a masterpiece of historical synthesis and still a basic work on the subject.

  17
. D. C. North and Thomas,
Rise
.

  18

Max Weber
, pp. 149f.

  19
. Landes,
Wealth and Poverty
.

  20
. Sylla and Toniolo,

. Patrick K. O'Brien: “Introduction,” in idem,
Industrialisation
, vol. 1, p. xliii.

  22
. An exception is Stearns,
Industrial Revolution
.

  23

, p. 13, speaks of “intensive” growth.

  24
. R. C. Allen,
British Industrial Revolution
, p. 80.

  25
. Still a good example of this kind of plurifactorial analysis is Mathias,
First Industrial Nation
.

  26
. Verley,
La Révolution industrielle
, pp. 34–36.

  27
. Allen,
British Industrial Revolution
, p. 15. Findlay and O'Rourke come to similar conclusions in

.

  28
. Mokyr,
Gifts of Athena
, in the tracks of the pathbreaking Jacob,

; for a later period, see Smil,
Creating the Twentieth Century
; see also Inkster,
Science
, which ranges into world history and is especially interesting on the theme of transfers.
