Synopsis
How economies grow, and why it matters today.
A clear, concise survey traces economic history from early gathering to the rise of metropolitan economies, showing how past trends shape our present world. This book blends scholarship with accessible writing, helping readers see the big pattern behind markets, work, and policy.
Written for both beginners and specialists, it presents five fundamental stages of development and grounds each idea in historical evidence. With diagrams, an analytic table of contents, and classroom-ready exercises, it invites students to test ideas and connect past and present in a practical way. The approach is balanced, aiming to illuminate rather than advocate a single viewpoint.
- A framework of five stages of economic development, culminating in metropolitan economy.
- Clear diagrams and an organized structure designed for study and teaching.
- Guided questions and problems that extend understanding beyond the page.
- Accessible prose that still respects the complexity of economic history.
Ideal for readers of history, economics, or public policy who want a solid overview that connects past trends to modern life.
