Features: The Cambridge Economic History of Europe is divided into three parts. The first three volumes form one part, primarily exploring the transformation of Europe's economy from the Middle Ages to the modern era. What factors determined why Europe's economy, rather than other regions', was the first to complete the shift from an agrarian society to an industrial society, and the changes that occurred in different economic sectors during this transition. The fourth and fifth volumes constitute the second part of the book, focusing on Europe's overall expansion in the 16th and 17th centuries as well as the Industrial Revolution. The third part is composed of the sixth, seventh, and eighth volumes, primarily studying and analyzing the historical development of Western economies since the Industrial Revolution, including the United States and Japan.
