Synopsis
This study concerns the conflict in world history between economic growth and political greed. E.L. Jones, author of the groundbreaking The European Miracle, proposes two fundamentally new frameworks. One replaces industrial revolution or great discontinuity as the source of change and challenges the reader to accept early periods and non-Western societies as vital to understanding the growth process. It shows that growth occurred independently in Sung China and Japan as well as in Europe. The second framework offers a new explanation in which tendencies for growth were omnipresent but were usually suppressed. The "obstacles to growth" and their subsequent erosion is reviewed, providing an explanation of the modern world economy in which growth has recurred and East Asia has taken a prominent place.

Review
"He has supplemented his expertise in European economic history by reading widely in Asian history, ancient and modern....Jones's style is both delightful and lapidary. He strikes innumerable sparks with challenging assertions on almost every page....His new book is as thought-provoking as The Economic Miracle--not least where it contradicts its predecessor."--American Historical Review
"Bold and stimulating."--Journal of Asian Studies

It shows that growth occurred independently in Sung China and Japan as well as in Europe. The second framework offers a new explanation in which tendencies for growth were omnipresent but were usually - though not always - suppressed. The `obstacles to growth' are reviewed and those of general significance identified.
