The Great Divergence offers a fresh perspective on one of history’s enduring puzzles: why did industrial growth take root in Northwest Europe while East Asia, with many similar advantages up to the mid-18th century, did not follow the same path? Kenneth Pomeranz carefully examines how comparable levels of well-being, markets, and household strategies in Europe and China eventually led to divergent economic trajectories. By exploring key factors such as the strategic significance of coal deposits and the global circulation of primary products, Pomeranz illustrates how Europe was uniquely positioned to adopt resource-intensive, labor-saving methods. In contrast, the eco-social dynamics and trade limitations within Asia redirected economic development along more labor-intensive routes. This seminal work provides a compelling analysis of the environmental and geopolitical contingencies that contributed to the rise of the modern world economy.
