Features: The Cambridge Economic History of Europe is divided into three parts. The first three volumes constitute the first part, primarily exploring the transition of Europe's economy from the Middle Ages to the modern era. What factors determined that Europe's economy, rather than other regions', would first 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 form the second part of the book, focusing on Europe's overall expansion in the 16th and 17th centuries and the Industrial Revolution in Europe. The third part is composed of the sixth, seventh, and eighth volumes, primarily studying and analyzing the historical development of Western economic growth since the Industrial Revolution, including the United States and Japan.
