Barriers to Growth

More about the book

Focusing on the obstacles to economic growth, this book presents a fresh perspective on industrial revolution narratives by emphasizing the slow dissolution of these barriers rather than just highlighting positive forces. It explores early resource misallocations and nineteenth-century reforms in the first section, while the second section addresses physical impediments like natural disasters. By offering insights often overlooked in traditional economic history, it serves as a valuable resource for academic historians, economists, and students in related fields.
