China has reemerged as a powerhouse in the global economy, reviving a classic question in economic history: why did sustained economic growth arise in Europe rather than in China?
Many favor cultural and environmental explanations of the nineteenth-century economic divergence between Europe and the rest of the world. This book, the product of over twenty years of research, takes a sharply different tack. It argues that political differences which crystallized well before 1800 were responsible both for China’s early and more recent prosperity and for Europe’s difficulties after the fall of the Roman Empire and during early industrialization.
Rosenthal and Wong show that relative prices matter to how economies evolve; institutions can have a large effect on relative prices; and the spatial scale of polities can affect the choices of institutions in the long run. Their historical perspective on institutional change has surprising implications for understanding modern transformations in China and Europe and for future expectations. It also yields insights in comparative economic history, essential to any larger social science account of modern world history.

可讀性還挺強的，不過大概也可以歸納到“中西對比”一類的套路裏？結論就是要“放寬曆史的視野”：大分流始於更早的曆史時期的設定（尤其是政治層麵的差異），而不是顯見的19世紀。
评分邏輯詭異但又完美。。。有些論點論據不足，該模型很多地方還是不適用。
评分Introduction & Conclusion. Very confusing.

评分隻看每個chapter的開頭結尾，略去中間隻抓結論，沒辦法精讀真的來不及瞭……感覺還是王國斌一貫的主張，然後和彭慕蘭原著套瞭一下，算是對彭著一個很好的補充……姑且算是為整個研究範式添磚加瓦瞭吧
