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 the European economy from the Middle Ages to the modern era. It examines what factors determined why the European economy, rather than other regions, was the first to complete the transformation from an agrarian society to an industrial society, as well as 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 consists of volumes six, seven, and eight, which primarily study and analyze the historical development of Western economies since the Industrial Revolution, including the United States and Japan.
Economic history is the discipline that studies the specific processes and special laws of the development and evolution of economic activities and economic relations in different historical periods, in various countries or regions of human society. It provides a basis for summarizing historical experience and predicting future trends in socio-economic development, as well as offering a historical context for studying economic thoughts, theories, and policies that emerged in different historical periods. This volume explores the channels and transformations of economic ties between different countries within Europe. The Cambridge Economic History of Europe is divided into three parts.
