He combines global imagination with the scientific detail needed to make his points hold firm. The Great Divergence should command widespread respect." --Peter H. Lindert, University of California, Davis "A truly magisterial effort based on an immense knowledge of the field, a vast amount of reading, and on close and careful analysis, informed by both social science and history."--Joel Mokyr, Northwestern University "This is an outstanding book, painstaking and devastating in its attack on received wisdom, supported by a wealth of solid evidence and elegant argument."--Jack A. Goldstone, University of California, Davis
