Abstract

An explosion in wealth occurred in Western countries in the second half of the second millennium. Meanwhile, the economies of the rest of the world remained relatively stagnant. Understanding the causes of this divergence is one of the great tasks of economic history. This chapter discusses how warfare, institutions, and culture play pivotal roles in recent theories of global divergence.
