Abstract

Longtemps arriérée et périphérique par apport aux grandes civilisations de l'Asie, une économie européenne a émergé lentement, du XVe au XVIIIe siècle, elle a préparé la mutation de la Révolution industrielle. Grâce à l'accélération de la croissance au XIX° siècle, et en dépit du contraste entre pays "riches" au nord, pays "pauvres" au sud et à l'est, l'économie européenne était plus intégrée en 1900 qu'elle ne l'est en 2000. En insistant sur les caractères communs à l'espace économique de l'Europe, sur les relations entre ses différentes parties, sur la diffusion des institutions et des technologies, sur les migrations de main-d'oeuvre, de savoir-faire, de capitaux, sur le rôle des diasporas, François Crouzet signe ici une magistrale synthèse. Cette "histoire de l'économie européenne" nous permet de mieux comprendre les débats actuels sur les heurs et malheurs de l'Europe.

Abstract

La supériorité de l'économie européenne sur celle de la Chine a longuement fait figure d'évidence, en particulier chez les historiens occidentaux. Au moment où l'actualité proclame ce qu'il y avait de transitoire dans cette suprématie, le livre de Kenneth Pomeranz pose la question de son caractère inéluctable. Récusant l'idée qu'une telle hiérarchie soit à chercher dans les civilisations elles-mêmes, il s'interroge sur la manière dont chacune a su résoudre les problèmes économiques, écologiques et géopolitiques posés par les processus de développement et par l'essor de l'industrie. C'est toute l'histoire de la mondialisation de l'économie depuis 1750 qui fait ici l'objet d'un nouvel examen, remettant en cause bien des idées reçues, tant sur l'Europe que sur la Chine, l'Inde ou les deux Amériques. On comprend ainsi que c'est l'inégale allocation géographique des ressources en charbon et la conquête du Nouveau Monde qui ont donné l'impulsion finale à l'économie européenne. Dès sa parution en 2000, Une grande divergence a soulevé chez les historiens et économistes du monde entier un débat qui est loin d'être clos sur la naissance d'une économie globalisée. Sa traduction permettra aux lecteurs français de mesurer l'importance d'un livre unique, tant par sa perspective effectivement mondiale que par l'ampleur de son information et l'originalité de ses thèses.

Abstract

It seems undeniable that Jan de Vries has cast an indelible impression upon the field of early modern economic history. With his rejection of traditional models that left pre-industrial Europe with little to no role to play in modern development, de Vries’ work has laid claim to the rich significance of the early modern period as the birth of the contemporary West. Culminating in The Industrious Revolution: Consumer Behavior and the Household Economy 1650 to the Present (2008), his work has changed the way scholars conceptualize and study this dynamic period, as the contributors in this volume attest. Utilizing the methods and concepts pioneered by de Vries, these authors display the depth and breadth of his influence, with applications ranging from trade to architecture, from the Netherlands to China, and from the 1400's to the present day.

Abstract

A study of human reproduction and social organization in preindustrial communities that reveals important similarities between Europe and Asia.This pioneering study reconceptualizes the impact of social organizations, economic conditions, and human agency on human reproduction in preindustrial communities in Europe and Asia. Unlike previous studies, in which Asia is measured by European standards, Prudence and Pressure develops a Eurasian perspective. Drawing on rich new data and the tools of event-history analysis, the authors challenge the accepted Eurocentric Malthusian view that attributes "prudence" (smaller families due to late marriage) to the preindustrial West and "pressure" (high mortality due to overpopulation) to the East, showing instead important similarities between Europe and Asia in human motivation and population behavior.The authors analyze age, gender, family and household, kinship, social class and power, religion, culture, and economic resources in order to compare reproductive strategies and outcomes. They reveal underlying similarities between East and West in two major components of the reproductive regime--marriage and childbearing--and offer evidence showing that preindustrial reproduction was motivated and governed by human agency at least as much as by human biology. Prudence and Pressure is part of a large-scale interdisciplinary effort to use new data and methods to re-examine the Malthusian paradigm of population growth. It represents a significant advance in the fields of historical demography, history, and sociology.

Abstract

"This concise and accessible introduction to European economic history focusses on the interplay between the development of institutions and the generation and diffusion of knowledge-based technologies. The author challenges the view that European economic history before the Industrial Revolution was constrained by population growth outstripping available resources. He argues instead that the limiting factor was the knowledge needed for technological progress but also that Europe was unique in developing a scientific culture and institutions which were the basis for the unprecedented technological progress and economic growth of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Simple explanatory concepts are used to explain growth and stagnation as well as the convergence of income over time whilst text boxes, figures, an extensive glossary and online exercises enable students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject. This is the only textbook students will need to understand Europe's unique economic development and its global context"--Provided by publisher.
