Features: What is meant by economic history is simply the history of economic development and economic growth, the economic aspect of historical evolution, and the sum of economic activities in a certain historical period. However, as an marginal and foundational discipline within the field of economic science, economic history is also the discipline that studies the specific processes and special laws of economic activities and economic relations in various historical periods, different countries or regions. It not only provides a basis for summarizing historical experience and predicting future trends in social and economic development but also offers a historical background for studying economic thoughts, theories, and policies formed in different historical periods. Without in-depth research and development in economic history, the study of economic theory would lose its main direction. This volume primarily analyzes the internal factors of modern industrial economic growth, such as the supply of capital, labor, and entrepreneurial resources, and is mainly conducted in a country-by-country analysis, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Scandinavian countries, the United States, Japan, and Russia, among others.
