{"product_id":"growth-recurring-eric-lionel-jones-9780472067282","title":"Growth Recurring: Economic Change in World History","description":"This important book compares the growth achieved in Japan and Europe with the frustrated growth in the major societies of mainland Eurasia. More broadly, it is about the conflict in world history between economic growth and political greed. Eric Jones proposes two fundamentally new frameworks. One replaces industrial revolution or great discontinuity as the source of change and challenges the reader to accept early periods and non-western societies as vital to understanding the growth process. The second offers a new explanation in which tendencies for growth were omnipresent but were usually--though not always--suppressed. Finally, the erosion of these negative factors is discussed, explaining the rise of a world economy in which growth has recurred and East Asia takes a prominent place.\u003cbr\u003eEric Jones has written a substantial new introduction for this edition, which includes discussions of early evidence of growth episodes and the relation of these points to the Industrial Revolution, and the relevance of the East Asian \"miracle\" to his thesis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Lionel Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472067281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472067282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.03w x 0.90d","brand":"Eric Lionel Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980971147519,"sku":"9780472067282","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f33fcb2-4809-45a1-9519-b40b4c09b2aa.jpg?v=1683252955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/growth-recurring-eric-lionel-jones-9780472067282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
