Features: The Cambridge Economic History of Europe is divided into three parts. The first three volumes form one part, primarily exploring the transition of Europe's economy from the Middle Ages to the modern era. It examines what factors determined why Europe's 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 constitute 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, primarily researching and analyzing the historical development of Western economies, including the United States and Japan, since the Industrial Revolution.
